For Immediate Release For immediate release Presenting Sponsor: Unigroup Relocation Brothers Genz sing Bach, Mahler and Schubert The Hong Kong Bach Choir presents the Genz brothers in a unique concert series of Bach, Mahler and Schubert from 1-4 October 2013 at Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall at 8pm. Bach & Mahler (1st October 2013) The opening concert will see the Hong Kong Bach Chamber Choir returning to its Bach roots together with Christoph and Stephan Genz in a programme of Bach cantatas and Mahler vocal works. With Christoph Genz as one of today’s foremost and most-recorded Bach tenors and Stephan Genz as a multiple-award-winning baritone, this promises to be a truly exceptional performance. The concert features a remarkable programme: when performed side by side, the influence of the high Baroque Bach on the arch-Romantic Mahler can be heard, especially in the latter’s seminal song-cycles Kindertotenlieder and Lieder einer fahrendes Gesellen. The programme will include one of Bach’s most famous cantatas, BWV 82 Ich habe Genug; his sublime motet BWV 229 Komm, Jesu, komm; and a rarely-heard choral transcription of Mahler’s Die zwei blauen Augen. Schubert (2nd, 3rd & 4th October 2013) In a rare opportunity to hear a world-class vocal recital series in Hong Kong, the Genz brothers will perform a further three concerts dedicated to Schubert, the most prolific composer of the Lieder genre. Each evening will feature one of Schubert’s celebrated song-cycles: Die Schöne Müllerin, Winterreise and the composer’s posthumously published Schwanengesang. Spanning the full range of human emotion from joy to tragedy, these moving song cycles represent truly exquisite journeys of the heart as interpreted by top international soloists. Seldom are the three performed as a set anywhere in the world, making this concert series a landmark event on Hong Kong’s cultural calendar. Artists Christoph Genz (tenor) has delighted audiences the world over with his moving renditions of Bach’s work. From his early career in Leipzig where he won the International J.S. Bach Competition, he has performed on stages across Europe, the US and Asia with distinguished conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Herbert Blomstedt. His talent on the stage has led to a successful recording career, including Bach Cantatas under Gardiner, Reinhard Goebel and Sigiswald Kuijken, Mass in B Minor under Blomstedt, Kuijken and George Christopher Biller, St. Matthew Passion under Kuijken, St. John Passion under Ludwig Güttler, and Christmas Oratorio under GPO Box 2334, Central, Hong Kong www.bachchoir.org.hk Gardiner. Genz is also an active lieder singer and has performed the three Schubert song cycles at the Gewandhaus Leipzig. Stephan Genz (baritone) is one of the leading lieder singers of his generation. He has worked with the great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. He came into international prominence after winning the Johannes Brahms Competition in Hamburg and the Hugo Wolf Competition in Stuttgart. Since then he has appeared in leading opera houses such as the Berlin Staatsoper, La Scala Milan, Bastille Opera, and numerous festivals including Aix-en-Provence, the Edinburgh and the Maggio Musicale Firenze. Stephan Genz has released multiple CD recordings which have won him the Timbre de Platine and Diapason d’Or. For his recording of Beethoven Lieder, Genz received the Gramophone Award and the German Record Critics’ Award. His Mahler recordings with Hyperion have all been critically acclaimed. Cornelia Herrmann (piano) was born into a family of musicians in Salzburg. She was the youngest winner of the International J. S. Bach Competition in Leipzig, and in 1999 gained a special award at the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. Herrmann has played in Zurich, Geneva, Salzburg and Vienna (Musikverein & Konzerthaus) and has worked under many distinguished conductors, such as Fabio Luisi, Manfred Honeck, Stefan Sanderling and Pinchas Steinberg. Jerome Hoberman, conductor Music Director and Conductor of The Hong Kong Bach Choir and Orchestra since 1992, Jerome Hoberman has been enthusiastically received in Hong Kong, China, Eastern Europe and the US. Festival appearances have included the Aspen Music Festival, Shanghai Spring International Music Festival and the Baguio Cathedral International Music Festival (Philippines), which he inaugurated in 2008 to remarkable acclaim. The Hong Kong Bach Chamber Choir Comprised of a select ensemble of singers from the Hong Kong Bach Choir and specializing in chamber and a capella music, the Hong Kong Bach Chamber Choir has in recent years collaborated with several local and overseas groups, including the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble and the Finnish choir Dominante. In August 2012, the Chamber Choir performed a programme of contemporary British choral music under the baton of renowned UK conductor Nicholas Cleobury. In the same month the choir joined forces with the local Singfest chorus in a performance of Mozart’s C-Minor Mass under the eminent choral conductor Helmuth Rilling.

  • Programm Der Thüringer Bachwochen 2006
    Thüringer Bachwochen 2006 24.3. – 17. 4. Grußwort »Bach ist Anfang und Ende aller Musik« hat der Komponist Max Reger gesagt. Zweifelsohne, Johann Sebastian Bach war ein ausgesprochen universeller, produktiver und meisterlicher Komponist. Seine Musik ist zeitlos und immer wieder ein musikalischer Hochgenuss. Das Leben und Wirken Johann Sebastian Bachs ist mit keinem Land so eng verbunden wie mit Thüringen. Insgesamt 32 Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte der Komponist hier. Seine Werke haben die Thüringer Musiktradition entscheidend geprägt und bereichert. Schön, dass sich die Musikerinnen und Musiker sowie die Konzertbesucherin- nen und -besucher der Thüringer Bachwochen 2006 einmal mehr der Heraus- forderung Johann Sebastian Bach�stellen. Gern habe ich die Schirmherrschaft über dieses besondere Klangerlebnis übernommen. »Er ist der Klang des Lebens, der Klang der Natur, der Klang des Universums, und der wird nie vergehen« beschrieb der Musiker Ulrich Tukur das musikali- sche Oeuvre Bachs. Seit 1992 ertönen die Werke des großen Komponisten im Rahmen der Thüringer Bachwochen, dem führenden Festival für Barockmu- sik. Die Bachwochen sind für zahlreiche Musikliebhaberinnen und -liebhaber beides: eine liebe Gewohnheit, die sie nicht mehr missen wollen, und eine Tradition, die aus dem alljährlichen Veranstaltungskalender nicht mehr weg- zudenken ist. Allen Besucherinnen und Besuchern der Thüringer Bachwochen wünsche ich ein einzigartiges Musikerlebnis. Den Bachwochen 2006 einen guten Verlauf! Dieter Althaus Thüringer Ministerpräsident Schirmherr der Thüringer Bachwochen 2006 Vorwort Nun sind die ›neuen‹ Thüringer Bachwochen schon ein gutes Jahr alt und stellen Eine gute Positionierung der Thüringer Bachwochen innerhalb der europäi- dem Publikum das zweite Festival – die Thüringer Bachwochen 2006 – vor. schen Festival-Szene ist für uns in künstlerischer wie auch touristischer Hinsicht Erneut präsentieren wir das Festival gemeinsam mit dem Thüringer Ministerium weiterhin ein wichtiges Ziel.

  • Bach's Oratorios
    Uri Golomb Bach’s Oratorios “Set aside fear, banish lamentation, / strike up a song full of joy and mirth!” These words, which appear near the beginning of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, could well serve as a motto for the cycle of oratorios for Christmas (BWV 248), Easter Sunday (BWV 249), and Ascension Day (BWV 11) that Bach compiled in 1734/5. In expressive terms, these works stand at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Passions. Philipp Spitta (vol. II, p. 538) wrote of the St. Matthew Passion: “In a work planned to represent the most stupendous events, and engaged throughout with none but the saddest emotions, every possible contrast had to be made the utmost use of”. In the Oratorios, Bach faced a similar challenge from the opposite direction: injecting variety into a predominantly bright context, commenting on stories that did not generate the narrative and psychological drama that inspired the Passions’ profound expressiveness. The other challenge that Bach set for himself was to forge convincing sequences out of movements drawn from other works. This process of self-borrowing (usually referred to as “parody”), though common enough in the Baroque era, was viewed with suspicion by some of Bach’s admirers in the 19th and 20th centuries: stringing together movements drawn from other works seemed to them like a sign of creative weakness. Such reasoning, however, is based on the perception of the musical work as an indivisible and inviolable whole – a notion that Bach and his contemporaries would probably not have recognised, let alone accepted. The fact that the music for these liturgical works was drawn primarily from secular music was also quite within the spirit of the times: the union of secular and liturgical music was increasingly advocated in Bach’s lifetime by several prominent figures, such as Erdmann Neumeister and Johannes Mattheson.

  • Diskothek Im Zwei: Johannsebastian Bach: Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244
    Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen, Postfach, CH-4002 Basel Diskothek im Zwei: JohannSebastian Bach: Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244 Montag, 18. April 2011, 20.00 - 22.00 Uhr Samstag, 23. April 2011, 14.00 - 16.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Gäste im Studio: Jörg-Andreas Böttiche, Cembalist und Andreas Werner, Tonmeister Gastgeberin: Eva Oertle Sie gilt heute als die Passionsmusik schlechthin: Johann Sebastian Bachs Matthäus-Passion. Lange Zeit vernachlässigt und zu Bachs Zeiten oft verpönt und als zu opernhaft gescholten, hat Felix Mendelssohn mit seiner legendären Aufführung von 1829 das Werk aus der Vergessenheit gerissen. Die monumentale Passion, die fast drei Stunden dauert, ist ein Höhepunkt in Bachs Schaffen. Entsprechend zahlreich sind denn auch die Aufnahmen, die es auf dem Markt gibt. Wie unterschiedlich, gerade auch was die Besetzung des Chors anbelangt, die Matthäuspassion aufgeführt werden kann, wird in der Diskothek im Zwei anhand 5 verschiedener Interpretationen deutlich. Gäste von Eva Oertle sind der Cembalist Jörg-Andreas Bötticher und der Tonmeister Andreas Werner.
