FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 21 November 2014
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 21 November 2014 Visionary Sounds: Jaap Van Zweden’s Prokofiev Symphony no. 5 and Zimmermann’s Sibelius Violin Concerto (12 & 13 Dec) [21 November 2014, Hong Kong] Jaap van Zweden, Music Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) returns to the stage of the HK Phil with one of the world’s great violinists, Frank Peter Zimmermann, in Sibelius’ Violin Concerto on 12 and 13 December 2014 in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall. “With his gorgeously ripe tone, easy swagger and intoxicating range of colour, Zimmermann is every inch the master.” --- Gramophone on Zimmermann’s recording of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto Jean Sibelius dreamt of being a star violinist, but a combination of injuries and simply starting on the instrument too late ruled out the possibility. But he used his knowledge of the instrument to compose his Violin Concerto, a work which is both dreamlike and fiendishly difficult, making supreme demands on the soloist. It is the most recorded 20th-century concerto, and Frank Peter Zimmermann is arguably its greatest living interpreter. Alongside the Concerto’s idyllic soundscape, Jaap van Zweden will conduct the triumphant Fifth Symphony by Sergei Prokofiev. Intended to inspire the Soviet people as the Second World War drew to its close, the symphony’s first performance began as victory cannons were fired in Moscow. Prokofiev declared that in the Symphony he was attempting to “sing the praises of the free and happy man – his strength, his generosity and the purity of his soul”. Classics: Visionary Sounds – Zimmermann/Van Zweden will be held on 12 & 13 December 2014 (Fri & Sat) at 8PM in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall. -

Adagio – Allegro 7'37 TT: 61'41 Frank Peter Zimmermann violin NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester Alan Gilbert conductor In Violin Concerto No.1, Frank Peter Zimmermann has based his performance of the solo part on the autograph manuscript (with the composer’s own metronome markings and bowing instructions), and not on the usually-heard version edited by David Oistrakh. Instrumentarium: Violin Concerto No.1: Stradivarius: ‘Lady Inchiquin 1711’ Violin Concerto No.2: Stradivarius: ‘ex Rodewalt 1713’ 2 Violin Concerto No.1 in A minor, Op.77 Both in the musical and thematic conception of its individual movements and also because of its delayed première, Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto speaks volumes about the lack of creative freedom endured by Soviet composers in the Stalin era. Initially Shostakovich composed the piece with no prospect of an actual performance: in 1948, when he finished it, he had just been placed – for the second time – on a black list because his music was perceived as too modernist, manifesting formalistic distortions, and alien to the people. -
Wolfgang Sawallisch Wolfgang Sawallisch
WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH Conductor Laureate Wolfgang Sawallisch became conductor laureate of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 2003, following the culmination of his celebrated, decade-long tenure as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. Acclaimed as one of the greatest living exponents of the Germanic musical tradition, Mr. Sawallisch enriched and expanded upon the Orchestra’s century-old tradition of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy of artistic achievements with the ensemble. As music director, Mr. Sawallisch encouraged the exploration of new ways to present music to American audiences. In April 1997 he led the Philadelphians in the first live internet concert “cybercast” made by a major American orchestra, attracting listeners from more than 40 countries around the world. He presented season-long focuses on the works of Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, and an ongoing overview of the works of Richard Strauss (including a concert presentation of the opera Ariadne auf Naxos ). Through a series of commissions, Mr. Sawallisch re-affirmed the Orchestra’s commitment to new music; and his vision for the Orchestra’s 100th Anniversary Season in 1999-2000, made up exclusively of music written since the ensemble’s creation in 1900, resulted in record ticket sales and critical praise. During his tenure, Mr. Sawallisch led The Philadelphia Orchestra each year in concerts outside Philadelphia, helping to build upon the ensemble’s long tradition of touring. He appeared annually with the Orchestra in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall and conducted the Orchestra in major concert halls throughout the world on eight international tours (three to Europe, four to Asia, and one to Central and South America). -

NORTHERN STARS MUSIC from the NORDIC and BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars
NORTHERN STARS MUSIC FROM THE NORDIC AND BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars Often inspired by folk tradition, nature, landscape and a potent spirit of independence, the music of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states is distinctive and varied, with each country’s music influenced by its neighbours, yet shaped and coloured by its individual heritage. Traveling composers such as Sweden’s Joseph Kraus introduced 18th and early 19th century classical trends from Germany and Italy, but with national identity gaining increasing importance as Romantic ideals took hold, influential and distinctive creative lines were soon established. The muscular strength of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies grew out of the Danish nationalist vigor shown by Friedrich Kuhlau and Niels Gade, extending to names such as Per Nørgård today. Gade was a teacher of Edvard Grieg, who owes his position as Norway’s leading composer, at least in part, to the country’s traditional folk music and the poignant lyricism of the Hardanger fiddle. The music of Finland is dominated by the rugged symphonies of Jean Sibelius, and his Finlandia ensured his status as an enduring national symbol. Sibelius successfully combined the lessons of Viennese romanticism with a strong Nordic character, and this pragmatic approach has generated numerous contemporary giants such as Aus Sallinen, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Kaija Saariaho. Turbulent history in the Baltic States partially explains a conspicuous individualism amongst the region’s composers, few more so than with Arvo Pärt, whose work distils the strong Estonian vocal tradition into music of striking intensity and crystalline beauty. -
