International Mendelssohn Festival 2024
Rautavaara / Sallinen / Glinka
La Sonnambula
Michail Glinkas »Divertimento brillante« stammt aus einer Zeit, in der Glinka in Italien lebte und an der Mailänder Scala die Uraufführung von Bellinis Belcanto-Oper »La Sonnambula« erlebte. Das melodische Material stammt aus dieser Oper, Glinkas Divertimento besteht aus nur einem einzigen langen Satz mit einem brillanten Finale, von dem das Werk zweifellos seinen Namen hat. In der ersten Konzerthälfte steht das musikalische Kulturgut Finnlands im Fokus, darunter »die virtuose Tafelmusik von Don Quijote« von Aulis Sallinen, die zur Feier des 70. Geburtstags des Cellisten Arto Noras geschrieben und 2012 von Noras in Helsinki uraufgeführt wurde. Noras selbst wird dieses Werk auch hier in Hamburg interpretieren. In Janáčeks »Mährische Volkspoesie in Liedern« gehört die Bühne ganz den Streichern des tschechischen Talich Quartetts, während Dohnányis Sextett op. 73 den Abschluss bildet, ein Werk ganz im Sinne der Spätromantik komponiert, und doch auch vom Zeitgeist angesteckt: mit einer Art Ragtime für Klarinette und Klavier im Finale.

A concert at the Elbphilharmonie is a unique experience for both audience and artists. Guests and musicians alike rave about the precise acoustics in the Grand Hall. You can hear every note, even from the highest balcony.
