Mahler’s Symphony No. 3
The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Prague is one of the great orchestras in Europe. This aspiration is also evident in today’s programme: Mahler’s Third Symphony. At the end of the 19th century, music was seen as the highest of all arts, and this symphony formulates this claim like few others. For his world painting, the composer demands an oversized orchestra, two choirs and a vocal solo. The origin of the world – nothing less is at stake in the six symphony movements.

In our recording and concert plans for Mahler’s symphonies, the time has arrived for the Third Symphony—a work that includes voices and is the longest of all his symphonies. According to voting by the world’s top conductors, it is one of the ten greatest symphonies of all time. It is led by a solo part, for which Semyon Bychkov chose Christa Mayer.

Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 is “huge, very strange, completely new, bronze individuality. Breathes unparalleled energy from a to z»: This is how the conductor Hans von Bülow rejoiced after a rehearsal of the work. It will now be conducted by Semyon Bychkov, who also has a lot of energy – not only on the podium. In recent months, as a Russian who emigrated in 1975, he has spoken out against the war at every opportunity. When he performs Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in addition to Brahms’ Fourth, it is undoubtedly about more than just music.

Whenever there is mention of Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 8, the superlatives begin to fly. The common epithet »Symphony of a Thousand« – which did not originate from the composer – already gives a taste of this. Mahler himself described his largest-scale choral work as »the greatest thing I have ever done«. And he certainly wasn’t just referring to the gigantic apparatus of some 500 performers, which required not only a huge orchestra and numerous choirs but also no less than eight soloists. It was, above all, a tremendous spiritual and religious quality that Mahler associated with this symphony. The passages he chose for inspiration were no less than the holy of holies of German national literature, the final scene from Goethe’s Faust II, and the time-honoured Pentecost hymn »Veni, creator spiritus«.
Its premiere on 12 September 1910 was an overwhelming success. Even the great Thomas Mann was incredibly impressed, writing a letter of thanks to the composer, referring to him as »the man who, as I believe, expresses the art of our time in its profoundest and most sacred form.«
To this day, performances of Mahler’s Eighth remain a rare spectacle. After all, it is not every day that you have top ensembles like the Prague Philharmonic Choir, the Rundfunkchor Berlin, the NDR Vokalensemble, the Knabenchor Hannover and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra come together with a first-class octet of soloists! And it is not everywhere that the stage can accommodate everyone, but this is no problem in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. After his acclaimed performances of the Symphony No. 3 with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the star conductor Semyon Bychkov now continues his Mahler series, bringing the greatest that the classical and romantic repertoire has to offer to the podium.

Unmistakable and still highly relevant—Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony, first heard during the siege of Leningrad in 1942, is a key work in Bychkov’s repertoire. One reason is his familial connection to Leningrad of that era, and a second is the conductor’s love of Shostakovich’s works for their authenticity and close ties to Russian history.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
The sensational Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang will join the Concertgebouw Orchestra in a performance of Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto, one of the most dramatic solo concertos ever written. The composer wisely waited until Stalin was dead before releasing the work, which violates every Soviet doctrine. Fear, sorrow, hysterical mirth, and a fighting spirit: Vilde Frang captures all the nuances within Shostakovich’s rich emotional palette. Unforgettable, even before the first note is heard.
Veteran conductor Semyon Bychkov is an all-rounder with a unique flair for Russian repertoire. He pairs the tragedy of Shostakovich with the astonishing vitality of an elderly Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff was living in the United States, torn from his Russian routes, when he composed the Symphonic Dances, reflecting on his youthful loves and exorcising his demons.
Banishing demons and celebrating life are two things Antonín Dvořák accomplished in his Carnival Overture, with which Semyon Bychkov opens the concert.

The Essentials series introduces you to the masterpieces you will be happy to know, performed by the world-famous Concertgebouw Orchestra and complete with a lively introduction by the incomparable Thomas Vanderveken. At Essentials we welcome a new generation of music lovers, and the concerts typically have a pleasant informal atmosphere.
Rachmaninoff was living in the United States, torn from his Russian routes, when he composed the Symphonic Dances, reflecting on his youthful loves and exorcising his demons. With this piece, the composer took his revenge on his critics. Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances are modern and classical, worldly and spiritual, nostalgic and astonishingly vibrant. Veteran conductor Semyon Bychkov is another Russian who, like Rachmaninoff, left Russian at an early age for the freedom of the west. This conductor continues to have a unique flair for Russian repertoire.
Banishing demons, celebrating life – this is precisely what Antonín Dvořák also accomplished in his Carnival Overture, with which Semyon Bychkov opens the concert.

CONCERTANTE CLIMBING
Between the 9th and 10th symphonies there is a curious gap in the orchestral oeuvre of the fast writer Dmitri Shostakovich. While he usually let one symphony follow the other, he fell silent for eight years after the subversively undermining expectations Ninth in this field. Once again, he was caught in the crossfire of criticism and lost the teaching posts that were so important for his livelihood. However, a great orchestral work was written during this dark time: the 1st Violin Concerto. From July 1947 to March 1948, Shostakovich worked on it. Then it disappeared into the drawer.
ONLY THE ABYSS YAWNS
When Shostakovich prepared the score for performance and printing after Stalin’s death in the mid-1950s, he assigned a new opus number. Did he want to avoid associating the music with the time of its creation? The sinister tones make no secret of it. The first movement is a night piece. Broodingly, deep strings, bassoon, contrabassoon and the moonlit bass clarinet revolve around a thought. Against this dark background of sound, the solo violin stands out brightly; like twinkling stars, celesta tones light up. The fast-paced scherzo in second place was described by the premiere violinist and dedicatee David Oistrakh as a demonic dance of despair. As Passacaglia, the Bach admirer Shostakovich designed the 3rd movement. The soloist hardly has a break in this concert. It does not play a voice, but a role. She celebrates her loneliness in the endlessly long cadence.
SYMPHONIC HIGH MOUNTAINS
In the fog of the night, the Alpine Symphony by the enthusiastic mountaineer and Nietzsche reader Richard Strauss also begins and ends. Between symbolic ascent and turbulent descent in a thunderstorm, the music brings sublime summit moments of overwhelming radiance.
