  • 'Rise Again, Yes, Rise Again'
    20 AUG – 10 SEP 2021 ‘RISE AGAIN, YES, RISE AGAIN‘ 20 AUG – 10 SEP 2021 ’RISE AGAIN, YES, RISE AGAIN’ www.beethovenfest.de Tickets +49 (0)228 – 50 20 13 13 Informations +49 (0)228 – 20 10 30 ‘Rise again, yes, rise again … … wilt thou, my dust, after a brief rest!’ Thus the opening lines of Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock’s ‘The Resurrection’, the poem that Gustav Mahler set to music in his Second Symphony. It was the first time that he had woven the human voice into a sym- phony tapestry, just as Beethoven had done in his Ninth. We have chosen these hope- filled lines as the motto of our 2021 Beet- hovenfest. Beethoven’s Ninth will resound at the beginning, Mahler’s ‘Resurrec- tion’ Symphony at the close. Beethoven’s final pronouncement at one end, Mahler’s continuation and glorification at the other. In its genesis, the Ninth is closely connected with the ‘Missa solemnis’. For this reason the ‘Missa’ will already be presented in Cologne Ca thedral in May – not without a surprising interlude. Cologne will also host an international youth orchestra venturing to play ‘Gruppen’, a monu- mental, spatially conceived work by Karlheinz Stockhausen. The orchestral works to be heard at the 2021 Beethovenfest are marked by a penchant for the universal and the spiritual. Among them will be Schubert and Bruckner ‘favourites’ played by the Vienna Philharmonic, and Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem and Stravinsky’s ‘Sym- phony of Psalms’, performed by the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées. Major birthdays can also be celebrated ex post facto.

It’s very unusual to have a private initiative like this, and many countries do not have such prizes.” Katsaris, it seems, was always destined for a life in music. “My mother, who is not a liar, claims that when I was five or six months old I used to try to sing the Mexican song ‘La Raspa,’ which was very popular at the time,” he recalled. “I don’t remem- ber that myself but what I do remember is that when I was three and a half my parents brought a piano for my sister, who is three years older, and I remember exactly where it was placed in our living hours. and the teacher doesn’t ‘control’.

    EAST-CENTRAL EUROPEAN & BALKAN CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Franz (Ferenc) Liszt (1811-1886) Born in Doborjan, Hungary (today, Raiding, Austria). He played the piano as a child and then in Vienna studied with Carl Czerny and Antonio Salieri, who taught him counterpoint and score reading. Then he moved on to Paris where he was a student of Antoine Reicha for theory and Ferdinando Paer for composition. His career as a piano virtuoso, composer and teacher was launched and he became one of the dominant musicians of the 19th century. He composed in nearly every genre but is best known for works for the piano and orchestra. His orchestral mastery is best represented by his cycle of 13 Symphonic Poems.
