Werden die berühmten Klavierkonzerte von Sergei Rachmaninow aufgeführt, spricht man unter Pianist*innen wohlwissend von ‹Rach 2› oder ‹Rach 3›. Zum 150. Geburtstag des Komponisten steht auf diesem Konzertprogramm ein Werk, das der musikalischen Schwermut des spätromantischen Russlands ebenso verpflichtet ist. Rachmaninows 2. Sinfonie entstand wie Phönix aus der Asche der desaströsen Uraufführung seiner 1. Sinfonie. Von einer tiefen Sinnkrise geplagt, fand Rachmaninow 1906/07 in Dresden Abgeschiedenheit und Ruhe, um sich nach zwölf Jahren erneut an die Königsdisziplin der Sinfonie zu wagen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Werk zwischen verklärter Melancholie und lebensbejahender Euphorie – eine Mischung, die der russische Komponist auch während seiner Zwangsexile in Amerika und im luzernischen Weggis beibehielt.

Auch für Igor Strawinsky war die Schweiz ein Zufluchtsort, und er logierte ab 1910 regelmässig am Genfersee. Der Komponist schlüpfte während seines Schaffens in viele unterschiedliche Stilkleider – für sein einziges Violinkonzert etwa setzte er sich mit Formen des Barock auseinander. Es wurde 1931 im Haus des Berliner Rund- funks uraufgeführt – als eine der ersten Live-Übertragungen der damaligen Reichsrundfunkgesellschaft.

Deutsch

When the famous piano concertos by Sergei Rachmaninoff are performed, pianists knowingly speak of 'Rach 2' or 'Rach 3'. On the occasion of the composer's 150th birthday, this concert program includes a work that is also indebted to the musical melancholy of late romantic Russia. Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony rose like a phoenix from the ashes of the disastrous premiere of his 1st Symphony. Plagued by a deep crisis of meaning, Rachmaninoff found seclusion and peace in Dresden in 1906/07, only to dare again after twelve years in the supreme discipline of the symphony. The result is a work between transfigured melancholy and life-affirming euphoria - a mixture that the Russian composer maintained even during his forced exile in America and in Weggis in Lucerne.

Switzerland was also a place of refuge for Igor Stravinsky, and from 1910 he regularly lodged on Lake Geneva. During his work, the composer slipped into many different styles – for his only violin concerto, for example, he dealt with Baroque forms. It was premiered in 1931 in the Berlin Broadcasting House – as one of the first live broadcasts by the Reichsrundfunkgesellschaft at the time.
