Berliner Philharmoniker mircoles, 24 de febrero de 2010 ¥ 20,15 horas BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER SIR SIMON RATTLE director titular MITSUKO UCHIDA piano AUDITORIO DE ZARAGOZA BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER En 1882, Benjamin Bilse anunci a su malpagada orquesta sus planes de viajar a Varsovia en cuarta clase; cincuenta de sus msicos renunciaron y se hicieron independientes. Desde sus inicios, la joven agrupacin recibi apoyo administrativo por parte del agente de conciertos berlins Hermann Wolff y, por recomendacin suya, cambiaron su nombre a Berliner Philharnmonisches Orchester. Wolff convirti una pista de patinaje en la primera Philharmonie, donde organiz conciertos de abono y busc al mejor director de ese momento. Hans von Blow ya haba estado al frente de la Orquesta de la corte de Meiningen, impulsando su desarrollo artstico. En solo cinco aos como Director de la Berliner Philharmoniker sent las bases que han dado a la Orquesta su especial renombre. Sus sucesores permanecieron largo tiempo en el puesto. Arthur Nikisch lo asumi en 1895, y en los veintisiete aos de su liderazgo consolid el virtuosismo y autoconfianza que la caracterizan. Si las interpretaciones de Blow tendan de alguna manera a una brillantez analtica, las de Nikisch eran ricas en esplendor y clida sonoridad, con economa de gestos. Las obras de Tchaikovski, Berlioz, Liszt, Strauss, Mahler y Bruckner fueron piezas clave de su repertorio. Bajo su direccin, la Orquesta alcanz el ms alto nivel y colabor con algunos de los mejores solistas internacionales. Tras la muerte de Nikisch en 1922, le sucedi Wilhelm Furtwngler, que reclam una gran autonoma y sensibilidad por parte de los msicos. Se les reconoca como legendarios intrpretes de Beethoven, Brahms y Bruckner. Al mismo tiempo ampli el repertorio para incluir obras contemporneas de Schnberg, Hindemith, Prokofiev y Stravinski, y realizaron numerosas giras al extranjero, obteniendo el reconocimiento internacional. © MONIKA RITTERSHAUS La dictadura nacionalsocialista y la guerra daaron de modo irreparable el panorama cultural alemn, incluyendo a la Berliner Philharmoniker. La poltica racista del rgimen ocasion la prdida de valiosos msicos y la privacin del intercambio internacional con directores y solistas. Al mismo tiempo, la convirti en un instrumento poltico. No obstante, Furtwngler y la Orquesta pudieron preservar la esencia de la agrupacin durante estos difciles aos. El 26 de mayo de 1945, la Berliner Philharmoniker ofreci su primer concierto tras la guerra, en el antiguo cine Titania Palast, bajo la direccin de Leo Borchard, muerto en agosto del mismo ao cuando un soldado de la ocupacin le dispar por error. Un joven y desconocido director rumano, Sergio Celibidache, fue nombrado entonces, reconocido ms tarde por su temperamento apasionado y su amplio repertorio. Furtwngler no fue autorizado a dirigir a la Orquesta hasta despus de su ÒdesnazificacinÓ en 1947. Volvi a asumir el puesto de Director en 1952. Furtwngler muri en 1954. Al ao siguiente, Herbert von Karajan se erigi en Director Titular y su liderazgo dur ms que el de cualquier otro director. Su labor sent las bases para el brillante reconocimiento internacional de la Orquesta, tanto en conciertos como en grabaciones, y ampli sus actividades. En 1967 se fund el Festival de Pascua de Salzburgo, en el que tambin comenz a interpretar ciclos de pera. Asimismo, la Orchester-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Filarmnica de Berln) ofrece a msicos jvenes la oportunidad de formarse en el marco de una gran orquesta. La nueva sala Philharmonie fue construida durante la era Karajan. Diseada por Hans Scharoun e inaugurada en octubre de 1963, se le aadi una sala de cmara en 1987. Herbert von Karajan muri en julio de 1989, tras casi treinta y cinco aos como Director Titular. Su sucesor, Claudio Abbado, familiarizado con la Orquesta, la dirigi por primera vez en 1966. Con un estilo diferente al de sus predecesores, lidera a travs de su fuerte presencia artstica. Cada ciclo de conciertos se focalizaba en un tema, por ejemplo en Fausto, Der Wanderer o Music is Fun for All. Esta modernizacin conceptual signific un rejuvenecimiento y revitalizacin de la Orquesta. En febrero de 1998, Abbado anunci que permanecera en el puesto hasta la temporada 2001/2002. El nombramiento de Sir Simon Rattle supuso el reclutamiento de uno de los ms talentosos directores de la joven generacin, as como la introduccin de una serie de importantes innovaciones. La conversin a ÒFundacin Berliner PhilharmonikerÓ aporta las condiciones que permiten un amplio rango de oportunidades de desarrollo artstico, asegurando al mismo tiempo la viabilidad econmica. Deutsche Bank es su principal patrocinador. Uno de los puntos destacados de este patrocinio es el programa educativo Zukunft@BPhil, creado al asumir Sir Simon Rattle el cargo de Director Titular y a travs del cual la Orquesta se acerca a un amplio pblico, de jvenes en especial. En palabras de Sir Simon Rattle: ÒZukunft@BPhil nos recuerda que la msica no es un mero lujo, sino una necesidad fundamental. La msica debe ser un elemento vital esencial en la vida de cada individuoÓ. Este proyecto ha significado una gran expansin de la misin cultural de la agrupacin. En reconocimiento a este compromiso, la Berliner Philharmoniker y Sir Simon Rattle fueron nombrados Embajadores de Buena Voluntad de Unicef, distincin concedida por primera vez a un conjunto artstico, en una ceremonia celebrada en Nueva York en noviembre de 2007, antes de la presentacin de un proyecto de danza de La consagracin de la primavera, en el United Palace Theatre de Harlem, y como parte del Festival ÒLuces de BerlnÓ del Carnegie Hall, que incluy una residencia de diez das de la propia Orquesta. SIR SIMON RATTLE DIRECTOR TITULAR © SIMON FOWLER Nacido en Liverpool en 1955, Sir Simon Rattle ha sido Director Titular de la Berliner Philharmoniker y Director Artstico de la Philharmonie de Berln desde septiembre de 2002. Tena 25 aos de edad cuando, recin graduado de la Royal Academy of Music de Londres, comenz su estrecha relacin con la City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO), primero como Director Principal y Artstico y despus Ðhasta 1998Ð como su Director Titular. Su trabajo infatigable e imaginativos proyectos artsticos ayudaron a convertir a la CBSO en una de las ms notables orquestas del mundo. En la sala de conciertos y en la pera, su extenso repertorio cubre composiciones desde el barroco hasta la msica contempornea. Tambin es Director Invitado Principal de la Orchestra of the Age of Englightenment y trabaja con grandes orquestas a ambos lados del Atlntico. Antes de asumir el cargo como Director Titular de la Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle haba trabajado con ella de forma regular desde haca quince aos. De las muchas grabaciones que ha llevado a cabo con la Orquesta, varias han sido galardonadas con los premios ms prestigiosos. Una de sus mayores pasiones es la de acercar el trabajo y la msica de la Berliner Philharmoniker a la gente joven de los ms diversos entornos sociales y culturales. Con ese fin ha establecido un programa educativo Zukunft@BPhil, que permite a la Orquesta perseguir nuevas vas para difundir su msica. En reconocimiento a su labor con los jvenes obtuvo el premio ÒGoldene KameraÓ y la Medalla Urania en 2007. En 2009 fue galardonado con el Premio Don Juan de Borbn de la Msica, con la Medalla de Oro ÒGloria ArtisÓ del Ministerio de Cultura de Polonia, y con la Cruz al Mrito de Alemania (Bundesverdienstkreuz).

  • 'Botschafter Der Musik': the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and The
    Working Papers in the Humanities 1 ‘Botschafter der Musik’: The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Role of Classical Music in Post-War German Identity Lauren Freede University of Edinburgh Abstract This working paper looks at the role of classical music in the establishment of modern German identity. My wider doctoral research project examines the importance of music in shaping differing senses of positive collective identity in both West Germany and Austria since the 1920s, and explores the exclusion of classical music from critical memory narratives, with particular reference to musical autobiographies. This paper focuses more narrowly on the situation in Germany immediately after World War II. While traditional accounts of the period tend to deal with individual musicians, I argue that musical institutions were central to a sense of being German. A brief case study of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra illustrates the tangled relationship between music and politics, and shows the ways in which musical identity was contested. Germans saw positive continuity in their mastery of the classical tradition, while the American occupiers saw the German belief in their musical superiority as a dangerous and unstable base for national restoration. My analysis of the Orchestra reveals that classical music was adopted as a politically neutral source of national pride despite being both highly susceptible to political manipulation and implicated in past militaristic and racist ideologies from which it was supposedly aloof. Thomas Mann once argued: ‘Soll Faust der Repräsentant der deutschen Seele sein, so müßte er musikalisch sein’.2 Since the middle of the nineteenth century, classical music has indeed been the art form most closely identified with the development of the German nation, and musicians and writers have argued that the art form itself belongs to Germany.

Berliner Philharmoniker Berliner 27-02 BERLINER RATTLE.indd 1 24/02/10 15:57 Richard Wagner Ouverture des Maîtres chanteurs de Nuremberg Composition : 1861-1867, mais projeté dès 1845. Création : le 21 juin 1868, au Hoftheater de Munich, sous la direction de Hans von Bülow. Effectif : piccolo, 2 flûtes, 2 hautbois, 2 clarinettes, 2 bassons – 4 cors, 5 trompettes, 2 trombones, tuba basse – timbales, triangle, tambour, cymbales – harpe, luth – cordes. Durée : environ 9 minutes. La découverte, en 1845, du personnage historique de Hans Sachs, « dernière incarnation de l’esprit populaire artistiquement créateur en art » (Une communication à mes amis, 1851), pousse Wagner à esquisser les grandes lignes des Maîtres chanteurs de Nuremberg ; s’il faut attendre les années 1860 (et la composition de Lohengrin, de Tristan et d’une grande partie de L’Anneau du Nibelung) pour que le compositeur s’y attelle véritablement, la thématique principale, elle, est déjà présente : réflexion sur l’art, l’opéra prône la réconciliation entre tradition (représentée par la confrérie des maîtres chanteurs) et nouveauté (incarnée par le jeune Walther). Comme une illustration de cette problématique, la musique se réapproprie des tournures « anciennes » (forme bar, fugue, contrepoint) et délaisse le chromatisme tristanien pour un vigoureux diatonisme : Wagner « forge […] pour chaque œuvre une langue nouvelle », comme le fait remarquer Nietzsche dans sa Considération inactuelle n° 4.

  • The 1963 Berlin Philharmonie – a Breakthrough Architectural Vision
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 BEATA KORNATOWSKA Poznań THE 1963 BERLIN PHILHARMONIE – A BREAKTHROUGH ARCHITECTURAL VISION „I’m convinced that we need (…) an approach that would lead to an interpretation of the far-reaching changes that are happening right in front of us by the means of expression available to modern architecture.1 Walter Gropius The Berlin Philharmonie building opened in October of 1963 and designed by Hans Scharoun has become one of the symbols of both the city and European musical life. Its character and story are inextricably linked with the history of post-war Berlin. Construction was begun thanks to the determination and un- stinting efforts of a citizens initiative – the Friends of the Berliner Philharmo- nie (Gesellschaft der Freunde der Berliner Philharmonie). The competition for a new home for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester) was won by Hans Scharoun whose design was brave and innovative, tailored to a young republic and democratic society. The path to turn the design into reality, however, was anything but easy. Several years were taken up with political maneuvering, debate on issues such as the optimal location, financing and the suitability of the design which brought into question the traditions of concert halls including the old Philharmonie which was destroyed during bomb- ing raids in January 1944. A little over a year after the beginning of construction the Berlin Wall appeared next to it. Thus, instead of being in the heart of the city, as had been planned, with easy access for residents of the Eastern sector, the Philharmonie found itself on the outskirts of West Berlin in the close vicinity of a symbol of the division of the city and the world.
