Festkoncert Det Kongelige Kapel 575 år

(ENGLISH VERSION BELOW)

Det Kongelige Kapel fejrer jubilæum med Bach, Brahms og Bartók.

Det Kongelige Kapels historie går tilbage til 1448 til trompeterkorpset ved Christian Is hof. Ved sæsonens anden symfonikoncert fejres Kapellets 575 fantastiske år med orkestermusik fra tre århundreder.

Oplev musik med tråde tilbage til orkestrets unikke historie. Dirigenten Leopold Stokowskis version af Bachs Toccata og fuga i d-mol forener klangrig senromantik med Bachs dynamiske puls. Stokowski dirigerede værket på sit besøg hos Det Kongelige Kapel i 1939, og nogle kender måske musikken fra Disneys Fantasia.

En af romantikkens mestre, Johannes Brahms, skrev som længselsfuld 28-årig sin klaverkvartet nr. 1 i g-mol. Hans uopnåelige kærlighed var den gifte Clara Schumann, en fremragende pianist og Brahms’ fortrolige. Schönberg, en af det 20. århundredes mest fremtrædende komponister, satte stor pris på kvartetten og orkestrerede den med vor tids farverige orkesterklang.

Stjernedirigenten, tidligere kunstnerisk chef for Verbier Festival, ungarske Gábor Takács-Nagy afrunder festkoncerten med sin specialitet, landsmanden Bartóks Koncert for orkester med fuldfed orkesterklang og 100 musikere på scenen.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccata og fuga, d-mol, BWV 565, orkestrering Leopold Stokowski
Johannes Brahms: Klaverkvartet nr. 1, g-mol, opus 25, orkestrering Arnold Schönberg
Béla Bartók: Koncert for orkester

ENGLISH VERSION:
The Royal Danish Orchestra celebrates its 575th anniversary with Bach, Brahms and Bartók

The orchestra’s history dates back to 1448 to the trumpet corps of the royal court of Christian I. The season’s second symphonic concert celebrates the orchestra’s 575 amazing years of music spanning three centuries.

Experience music that echoes the Royal Danish Orchestra’s unique history. Conductor Leopold Stokowski’s version of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor blends sonorous late Romanticism with Bach’s dynamic pulse. Stokowski conducted the piece on his visit to the Royal Danish Orchestra in 1939, and many are probably familiar with the music from Disney’s Fantasia.

One of the masters of Romanticism, Johannes Brahms wrote his Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor at the impassioned and tender age of 28. His unattainable love was his confidante Clara Schumann, a married woman and a distinguished pianist. Arnold Schönberg, one of the most prominent composers of the twentieth century, greatly appreciated Brahms’s quartet and orchestrated it with the colourful tonality of our times.

Hungarian Gábor Takács-Nagy, star conductor and former artistic director of the Verbier Festival, will round off the celebratory concert with his own specialty, fellow countryman Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra with full orchestral sound and 100 musicians on stage.
