The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/oramo--säsongsöppning/Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo opens the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s regular concert season. Welcome to this especially festive concert! During intermission, the entire audience is welcome to refreshments in the beautiful lobbies of Konserthuset.
Anton Bruckner’s voluminous and grandiose symphonies never cease to amaze. According to Bruckner, the opening sound of the horn in the fourth symphony symbolises the arrival of dawn after a long night’s rest. From this simple theme, a fascinating and multifaceted symphonic landscape emerges, where the entire harmonic register of the orchestra is put to use. As always with Bruckner, the balance between the overarching musical architecture and the smaller details is exquisitely even. This is his most played and beloved symphony, and he was the one who referred to it as “the Romantic” symphony.
Swedish composer Victoria Borisova-Ollas has roots in Russia and began her education at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. In her newly composed violin concerto, she was inspired by Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake. While there are no direct connections to Tchaikovsky’s music in the new violin concerto, it is based on the same story. And “Romance and dance movements are of course part of the background,” says Borisova-Ollas, who has been acclaimed for, among other things, her opera Dracula at the Royal Swedish Opera.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/lvb250--beethovens-second/French Louise Farrenc was a great admirer of Beethoven. The second of her three symphonies is directly connected to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2, like a musical sibling.
Beethoven charged his second symphony with surprising effects in a completely new way. Quite suddenly, the orchestra shifts at times from the most delicate of sounds to roaring bursts of forte. He was also the first ever to replace the traditional minuet with a scherzo, which suited Beethoven’s wild humour and dramatic mood.
Louise Farrenc was a prominent name in the nineteenth century French music scene. She was active as a composer but was also a brilliant concert pianist, and she spent thirty years as a professor at the historic conservatory in Paris. She herself had studied piano there under greats such as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and composition under Anton Reicha.
Louise Farrenc was not at all concerned with Parisian audiences’ primary interest in opera and parlour music. Instead, she derived her musical life force from Germany and Beethoven, which we can hear at this concert.
Konserthuset Stockholm’s major Beethoven Festival will feature a guest appearance at this concert by the historic Gävle Symphony Orchestra under its chief conductor, Jaime Martín.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/lvb250--beethovens-eighth/Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 is rich with contrasts and drama, yet suffused with light and serenity. Beethoven’s music is presented here beside British composer Sally Beamish, who has based several of her works on music by Beethoven. ”Beethoven has been an inspiration to me since my childhood, when I would play through my grandmother’s collection of Beethoven piano sonatas and concertos”, Sally Beamish explains.
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 is considered his most humorous symphony. This is music with charming melodies, rhythmic whims and surprising accents; even so, it is certainly not lightweight. We will also hear his significantly darker Coriolanus Overture, composed for a drama by Austrian writer and poet Heinrich Joseph von Collin.
British composer Sally Beamish (b. 1956) has a particularly special relationship to Beethoven. Her third piano concerto, City Stanzas, is based on Beethoven’s first piano concerto, and her string quartet, Opus California, builds on the theme from Beethoven’s string quartet Opus 18 No. 4. On this occasion we will hear her Hover, in which the violin plays a central role, and Whitescapes, composed in 2000 when she was Composer in Residence with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
Konserthuset Stockholm’s major Beethoven Festival will feature a guest appearance at this concert by the Swedish Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Martin Fröst, who will take over as chief conductor of the orchestra in autumn 2019.
