But there’s a world of experience to live through before the CBSO get to that final, transcendent Ode To Joy, and Beethoven’s explosive little Eighth Symphony launches a concert that’s sure to be one of the most talked-about events in Birmingham this year.

| Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, Nottingham NG1 5ND, United Kingdom Friday 28-Jun-13 07:30pm City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra The matchless combination of Andris Nelsons and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra provides all the elements for an astounding concert. And as it takes place at the end of June it’s appropriate to begin with Mendelssohn’s sun-drenched ‘Italian’ Symphony. A ten month tour of Italy in 1830 left him with an overwhelming impression of the ‘land of nature, delighting every heart,’ and inspired him to write his most effervescent symphony three years later.
One of the most moving stories of Beethoven is that one of the soloists at the premiere of his 9th Symphony in 1824 had to turn the deaf composer around so that he could witness the tumultuous applause. Few there could have doubted its seismic status. Visionary in scope, extreme in its gestures and technically daunting (horn players still have cold sweats about one notorious solo), it’s a piece which tears at the boundaries of the classical symphony, nowhere more so than in the choral finale that proclaims the words of Schiller’s Ode to Joy.Image credit: Andris Nelsons with the CBSO © Neil Pugh | ||

Beethovenhalle, Bonn Magnum Opus Beethovenfest Bonn |
|
 | ||
| Beethovenhalle, Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany Tuesday 24-Sep-13 08:00pm Magnum Opus In the third concert of the residency of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Piano Concerto by Arnold Schoenberg, completed in Los Angeles in 1942, meets Beethoven’s magnum opus, his Ninth Symphony. The political link between the two works is obvious: the Ninth is a masterpiece with a variable reception history, and, not least during the Second World War, was misused for political purposes. Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto addresses the theme of the composer’s situation as an exile. Musically the colourful and expressive work is an example of how twelve-tone music need not be over-intellectual. It does though need high-calibre and intelligent performers: the young French pianist David Fray is precisely the man for the job.
Additional Information: "For 8 at 8" Non-bookable reserved seats for students. 7.30 PM Concert introduction "All Ears for Half" Concert as part of the residency of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.

Philharmonie, Köln Gürzenich-Orchester - Silvesterkonzert |
|
 | ||
| Philharmonie, Köln, Bischofsgartenstraße 1, 50667 Köln, Germany Tuesday 31-Dec-13 06:00pm Gürzenich-Orchester - Silvesterkonzert Als die Uraufführung seiner 9. Sinfonie am 7. Mai 1824 in Wien über die Bühne ging, konnte Beethoven selbst die Sinfonie nicht mehr hören. Er war vollständig ertaubt, und das ruhmreiche Konzert, das in frenetischem Jubel endete, war zugleich sein letztes. Hatten schon das grandiose Wechselspiel der Instrumente, die kompositorische Raffinesse der ersten drei Sätze das Publikum begeistert, so gab es kein Halten mehr angesichts der ungeheuren Wirkung, die die »Ode an die Freude« des Schlusssatzes auslöste. 30 Jahre hatte Beethoven Schillers berühmte Verse, die er so liebte, mit sich herumgetragen. Hier fanden sie endlich ihre Form – und gingen mit Beethovens 9. Sinfonie um die Welt.
Kein Werk würde sich besser eignen für einen feierlichen Jahresausklang. Gürzenich-Kapellmeister Markus Stenz bietet dafür eine großartige Riege an Solisten auf: Anne Schwanewilms, die Strauss- und Wagnerinterpretin der Opernbühnen, Ingeborg Danz, eine der führenden Altistinnen im Oratorienbereich, die von Dirigenten von Christopher Hogwood bis zu Kent Nagano weltweit geschätzt wird, Maximilian Schmitt, dem die Sunday Times »eine der schönsten Tenorstimmen seit Fritz Wunderlich« attestiert und Markus Butter, der Ensemblemitglied der Staatsopern in Dresden und München war und längst international Karriere macht. Die anspruchsvolle Chorpartie übernimmt das Vokalensemble des Kölner Domes.Image credit: Javier del Real | ||

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 3-May-14 04:00pm Van Swieten Society + Asko Kamerkoor - Beethoven 2 en 9 Voor veel mensen is de Negende symfonie de kroon op het oeuvre van Beethoven. Een muzikaal
én menselijk document zonder weerga. Diepzinnig, heroïsch, ontroerend en voor ’t eerst in de
geschiedenis een symfonie met koor en vocale solisten. De slothymne Ode an die Freude is het
officieuze volkslied van Europa. Franz Liszt (1811-1886) balde de hele Negende samen op één piano;
de jonge virtuoze pianist Bobby Mitchell reïncarneert vandaag als de Liszt van toen.
Mitchell bespeelt een vleugel van de beroemde Parijse firma Erard, een van de beste pianobouwers in de tijd van Beethoven en Liszt. Voor het slotkoor voegt zich een kamerkoor bij de piano. De Tweede symfonie bewerkte Beethoven zelf voor pianotrio. Dat kon hij namelijk het beste, vond hij, ‘of anders iemand met dezelfde vaardigheid en scheppende vermogens’ maar die was natuurlijk nergens te vinden. € 21,00 / € 17,00 Stadspas / € 17,00 CJP Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), Symphony no. 2 in D major, Op.36 (arr. for piano trio) Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), Symphony no. 9 in D minor "Choral", Op.125 (arr. for piano solo (Liszt)) | ||
