  • Introducing Tianwa Yang
    INTRODUCING TIANWA YANG “I suppose Yang’s playing can only be described as perfect, and perfect is a word I normally hate to use, because I normally think of perfection to be a myth.“ – Elaine Fine, American Record Guide INTRODUCING TIANWA YANG BIOGRAPHY Called “an unquestioned master of the violin” (American Record Guide) who “rises above her competition” (Fanfare), Tianwa Yang has quickly established herself as a leading international performer and recording artist. The young violinist, a resident of Germany and heralded by the Detroit News as “the most important violinist to come on the scene in many a year,” has debuted with such major orchestras as the Detroit, Seattle, Baltimore, Nashville, Kansas City and New Zealand Symphonies, in addition to the MDR-Sinfonieorchester-Leipzig, Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Orchestre National d’Île de France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, and the Hong Kong, Buffalo, BBC, Deutsche Radio, Warsaw and Royal Liverpool Philharmonics. Ms. Yang has performed under the baton of renowned conductors Marc Albrecht, Andreas Delfs, JoAnn Falletta, Giancarlo Guerrero , Günther Herbig, Yoel Levi, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Gerard Schwarz, Vassily Sinaisky amongst others. Other international engagements include those at the Ravinia Festival, Virginia’s Arts Festival, London’s Wigmore Hall, Paris’ Salle Pleyel and Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Ms. Yang has also given live concert broadcasts from the Schwetzingen Festival, broadcast by the SWR Stuttgart, from the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, broadcast by Deutschlandradio, and from the Montpellier Festival, broadcast by Radio France.

  • 25. Mai 2015 Programm Grusswort Der Gastgeber
    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival! Thomas und Elisabeth von Salis Gastgeber EDITORIAL DER KÜNSTLERISCHEN LEITUNG Die Historie des Schlosses Brunegg in seinem heute rundum erneuerten Gewand verführt und verpflichtet zu gleichen Teilen, an diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ort ein Festival zu gestalten, welches Tradition und Innovation in sinnlicher Art und Weise verbindet.

  • Gurrelieder Pleyel-ALTAMUSICA-Juin 2011
    CRITIQUES DE CONCERTS 29 juin 2011 Gurre-Lieder de Schoenberg sous la direction de Marc Albrecht à la salle Pleyel, Paris. Apothéose opératique Enthousiasme salle Pleyel à la mesure de la somptueuse interprétation des Gurre-Lieder sous la baguette de Marc Albrecht à la tête de l’Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg. Sur des poèmes du Danois Jens Peter Jacobsen, la cantate de Schoenberg tient en haleine pendant les deux heures de cette œuvre monumentale à tous égards. Salle Pleyel, Paris Le 25/06/2011 Claude HELLEU Deux heures d’excès magnifiques. Sous la direction précise, calme, incisive de Marc Albrecht, les effectifs démesurés de l’orchestre donnent tout à entendre des envolées d’une partition gigantesque. L’Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg porte le souffle épique des masses instrumentales et raffine les voix données aux pupitres – seules les flûtes, au début, restent un peu en deçà des autres vents – sans jamais faillir à la lisibilité grandiose des Gurre-Lieder , poèmes d’amour et de mort de Jens Peter Jacobsen que nous pouvons ce soir suivre surtitrés. Six solistes, trois chœurs d’hommes à quatre voix, un chœur mixte à huit voix – Chœur Philharmonique de Brno, magnifique – participent au climat palpitant de ce conte fantastique où nous allons dans une atmosphère de plus en plus inquiétante des extases amoureuses du roi du Danemark aux chasse et équipée infernales qui le puniront de son blasphème à Dieu pour avoir permis la mort de sa bien-aimée. Panthéisme, symbolisme, impressionnisme somptueusement décadent, expressionnisme soudain et saisissant en troisième partie : les narrateurs se succèdent, voix individuelles limpides sur les masses orchestrales, celles des femmes particulièrement remarquables.

Maar nadat de 58-jarige componist een solo-optreden had bijgewoond van de eerste klarinettist van de hofkapel van Meiningen (het top orkest van die tijd) vond hij dat het instrument een nog prominentere rol in zijn muziek ver- diende. Geïnspireerd door het spel van deze Richard Mühlfeld schreef hij een trio en een kwintet, allebei met een solopartij die het hart van klarinettisten tot in de verste uithoeken van de wereld nog altijd sneller doet kloppen. Ze waren Brahms even lief, die twee werken, heeft hij zelf herhaaldelijk gezegd. Maar mu- sici en publiek dachten en denken er anders over. Het Trio voor klarinet, cello en piano kwam al spoedig in de schaduw te staan van het immens populaire Kwintet voor klarinet, twee violen, altviool en cello met zijn herfstachtige, melancholieke ook troostende schoonheid.
