Unschuld: Symphony No. 1 in D Major, ("Titan") (+2 More)

»It’s as if you shake a tree, and the sweet, ripe fruit falls down without further ado«. These were Robert Schumann’s words after the premiere of Mendelssohn’s Second Piano Concerto. Indeed, it took Mendelssohn (who was usually scrupulous in the constant amendment of his own works) only a few days to harvest this ripe, sweet and lively fruit: on his honeymoon – newly-wed and in love. Gustav Mahler on the other hand drew his inspiration from unrequited love. Folk songs and bird sounds, a funeral march and a Ländler, blinding visions and heavenly peace all come together in his diverse cosmos of musical inspiration. Kristian Bezuidenhout is the soloist in the Mendelssohn Concerto, and the Gürzenich Orchestra welcomes back Pablo Heras-Casado as conductor.

English

»Es ist, als würde man einen Baum schütteln, und die süße, reife Frucht fällt kurzerhand herunter«. Das waren die Worte Robert Schumanns nach der Uraufführung von Mendelssohns Zweitem Klavierkonzert. Tatsächlich brauchte Mendelssohn (der seine eigenen Werke sonst gewissenhaft abänderte) nur wenige Tage, um diese reife, süße und lebendige Frucht zu ernten: auf seiner Hochzeitsreise – frisch verheiratet und verliebt. Gustav Mahler hingegen schöpfte seine Inspiration aus unerwiderter Liebe. Volkslieder und Vogelstimmen, Trauermarsch und Ländler, blendende Visionen und himmlische Ruhe vereinen sich in seinem vielfältigen Kosmos musikalischer Inspiration. Kristian Bezuidenhout ist der Solist im Mendelssohn-Konzert, und das Gürzenich-Orchester begrüßt wieder Pablo Heras-Casado als Dirigenten.
