SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Symphoniker Hamburg / Diyang Mei / Katharina Konradi / Long Yu
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:A concert combining intimacy, new musical discoveries, and symphonic=0D=0Avision, beginning quietly, stirring the soul, and ending with a=0D=0Aglimpse of light: under the baton of Long Yu, the Hamburg Symphony=0D=0AOrchestra embarks on a musical journey from private intimacy to=0D=0Amusical renewal and on to a transcendent, comforting utopia. =0D=0A=0D=0AThe concert opens with Richard Wagner’s »Siegfried Idyll«, a=0D=0Adeeply personal work in which chamber music transparency and lyrical=0D=0Aintimacy combine to create a warm, floating soundscape. Wagner does=0D=0Anot create a dramatic stage here, but rather a musical refuge that=0D=0Aimmediately transports the listener into an atmosphere of quiet=0D=0Aenchantment.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe first part of the concert centers on Joe Hisaishi’s »Viola=0D=0ASaga«, which will be performed in Germany for the first time. In his=0D=0Awork, the renowned film composer combines Western classical music and=0D=0AJapanese musical tradition to create unique soundscapes. He=0D=0Arediscovers what is probably the most underrated instrument in the=0D=0A(Western) orchestra and combines lyrical intensity with cinematic=0D=0Abreadth to create a work that oscillates between meditative calm and=0D=0Adramatic departure. Diyang Mei, violist with the Berlin Philharmonic=0D=0Aand internationally acclaimed soloist, lends this work a haunting=0D=0Apresence with his warm, singing tone, placing the viola at the center=0D=0Aas a poetic narrator.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe symphonic highlight is Gustav Mahler’s Fourth, a work of=0D=0Alight-filled clarity and apparent simplicity, behind which lies=0D=0Aexistential depth. Mahler concludes the symphony with the visionary=0D=0Asong “Himmlisches Leben” (Heavenly Life), sung by Katharina=0D=0AKonradi, whose subtle soprano voice harmonizes perfectly with the=0D=0Achildlike, naive, yet touchingly serious perspective of this finale.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0AAt the podium is Long Yu, one of the most distinguished conductors of=0D=0Aour time, who, with stylistic mastery and a keen sense of color,=0D=0Arepeatedly succeeds in congenially connecting musical worlds.=0D=0A=0D=0APERFORMERS=0D=0A=0D=0ASYMPHONIKER HAMBURG orchestra=0D=0A=0D=0AKATHARINA KONRADI soprano=0D=0A=0D=0ADIYANG MEI viola=0D=0A=0D=0ALONG YU conductor=0D=0A=0D=0APROGRAM=0D=0A=0D=0ARICHARD WAGNER=0D=0ASiegfried Idyll in E major, WWV 103=0D=0A=0D=0AJOE HISAISHI=0D=0AViola Saga für Orchester (Deutsche Erstaufführung)=0D=0A=0D=0AGUSTAV MAHLER=0D=0ASymphony No. 4 in G major=0D=0A
