Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des BR The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded by Radoslaw Szulc and Karl Wagner in 2000 to mark the 50th anniversary of the symphony orchestra. Thus emerged a flexible collective of virtuosic players dedicated to cultivating the chamber music ideal. As primus inter pares Radoslaw Szulc oversees the ensemble’s artistic direction. The ensemble has been hailed by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung ”…from the start a first-rate orchestra with its own character. Their sophisticated playing has differentiated structures of communication as well as musical verve…they give special attention to a full sound and achieve the aspired ideal with utmost instrumental precision.” TV and CD productions quickly followed, starting with Tchaikovsky´s works for string orchestra. The chamber orchestra became known early on for its homogenous and lush string sound. They appear frequently in the major musical centers of Europe as well as at international festivals. The chamber orchestra developed a close friendship with Hélène Grimaud and Frank Peter Zimmermann. In 2011 Mozart´s piano concertos in F Major KV 459 and in A Major KV 488 featuring Hélène Grimaud were released by Deutsche Grammophon and became number one on the US Classic Charts. In 2014 the chamber orchestra began recording all of the Mozart violin concertos with Frank Peter Zimmermann; even before completion of the project in 2015 the first part of the recordings appeared in the Classic Charts. The orchestra has also recorded several Bach violin concertos featuring Lisa Batiashvili for Deutsche Grammophon. The chamber orchestra frequently collaborates with other famous soloists such as Lang Lang, Julia Fischer, Mischa Maisky, Sabine Meyer, Pinchas Zukerman, Diana Damrau, Igor Levit, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen und Maxim Vengerov. .

Ode to Joy Your Philadelphia Orchestra SPRING 2020 IMPACT REPORT
Ode to Joy Your Philadelphia Orchestra SPRING 2020 IMPACT REPORT “We want to share the joy of music, the impact and the power of music, the music that we believe in. This is a journey, and we are the grateful caretakers of this magnificent orchestra.” —Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director Walter and Leonore Annenberg Chair We were inspired to give this issue of your Impact Report a theme: Ode to Joy. Of course, the famous theme from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was an inspiration, but more broadly we want this issue to demonstrate how your generous support helps The Philadelphia Orchestra bring the joy of music to people around the world. Thank you! Music that Transforms A Philadelphia Orchestra season features performances of hundreds of musical works, ranging from beloved classics to new commissions. What ties this vast array of pieces together is their shared power to transform audience members and the musicians on stage. Every season includes several monumental works that demand something special from the Orchestra. They are symphonies, operas, and choral works that, in some cases, are rarely performed because of the special preparation required. This season’s transformative works include Richard Strauss’s highly charged opera Elektra, Gershwin’s beloved classic Porgy and Bess, Ravel’s enchanting fairy tale opera L’Enfant et les sortilèges, Bach’s epic Mass in B minor, and Mahler’s ever-popular Symphony No. 5. “There is this sense of awe,” said Yannick about the Mass in B minor, “and yet it’s about our own relationship with the divine or anything that is spiritual—the harmony of the world.

One of the greats of the repertoire, RCM violinists and the RCM Symphony Orchestra explore Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. This masterclass will be live streamed to www.rcm.ac.uk/live. Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major op 61 Although Beethoven completed only one concerto for violin, he certainly began work on another. All that survives of the earlier attempt is the opening section of a first movement in C major, but the condition of manuscript is such that it is entirely possible that the rest once existed, but has since been lost. The fragment probably dates from the early 1790s and reveals a confident treatment of the soloist, and a penchant for the upper reaches of the instrument’s range that anticipates one of the notable features of the masterpiece that was to follow more than a decade later. The exact circumstances of the D major Concerto’s commissioning are not known, but it was evidently written for Franz Clement, a very distinguished Viennese conductor (notably at the Theater an der Wien) and violinist.

By Daniel Grab Master of Music in Music, Performance The purpose of this research project is to examine the widespread notion among classical musicians that while there are many high level technical players today, their artistry and most specifically their individuality is not on the level of the “old greats”. The main questions at stake are: Is there merit to this pervasive idea and if so what is behind this trend? Is this viewpoint partially a perspective-based illusion much like the idea held by each aging generation since the dawn of humanity supposing that the newer generation is less capable, not as special, lacking depth, etc. This project will focus on eight interpretations of Mendelssohn violin concerto as sources; four by violinists born around the turn of the century, and four by violinists currently concertizing today.
