Frischer Wind in altehrwürdiger Concertgebouw-Tradition: Die Matthäus-Passion bei den Osterfestspielen Baden-Baden
Phillip Richter

Die Osterfestspiele Baden-Baden haben sich für das diesjährige Festival neu aufgestellt. Denn im Jahr 2026 kehren die Berliner Philharmoniker mit ihrem Chefdirigenten Kirill Petrenko nach 13 glanzvollen Jahren in Baden-Baden an ihre ursprüngliche Wirkungsstätte an der Salzach, nach Salzburg, zurück. In Baden-Baden füllen dafür gleich zwei aufregende Klangkörper den Spielplan der Osterfestspiele: Das Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra aus Amsterdam für mehrere Konzertaufführungen und das Mahler Chamber Orchestra für die Neuinszenierungspremiere von Richard Wagners Lohengrin. (Rezension der Aufführung v. 30. März 2026) […]

Hans Abrahamsen’s Three Pieces for Orchestra: ‘Extremely charming and expressive’

The music of the Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen (1952) is highly poetic and often has a strong visual expressiveness. He paints with a fine brush; his work sounds transparent like a watercolour. – As e.g. in the highly successful fairytale-like Winternacht, which he composed early in his career. Often his music balances on the edge of silence. On 5 June Sir Simon Rattle will conduct Abrahamsen’s Three Pieces for Orchestra in Concertgebouw Amsterdam, as part of his farewell tour with the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Hans Abrahamsen

‘What you hear are images – essentially the music is already there’, he once said. Just as Michelangelo only had to ‘liberate’ his sculptures from the stone, Abrahamsen ‘digs out’ the arrangement of sounds that form his compositions. Thus he creates a sensual and spatial sound world, in which various ideas flow organically into one another. Occasionally, however, the Arcadian peace is disturbed by bouncing rhythms and loud dissonances.

A recent highlight is the meditative song cycle let me tell you for soprano and orchestra (2013), which he composed at the request of the soprano Barbara Hannigan. The text is composed of the 481 words Ophelia speaks in Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet. Hannigan premiered this intensely lyrical piece with the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra, who also commissioned the Three Pieces for Orchestra. They premiered it on 26 May in Philharmonie Berlin and will introduce it to the Netherlands on June 5th in Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

Three Pieces for Orchestra is an arrangement, or rather reinterpretation of three of his Ten Studies for piano solo, which he composed between 1984 and 1998. In this work he investigates ‘the soul of the piano, formed by all the music that has been composed for it since its inception’. The cycle is divided into four segments, consisting of four, three, two and one part respectively. These connect successively with the Romantic era, Afro-American music and the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel.

The concluding Le trombe del mattino refers to Italy, ‘the land of light’. The different languages are of vital importance to Abrahamsen: ‘They determine the associations of the listener. There may be a world of difference between a ‘Traum’ song, a ‘Drømmersong’ and a ‘Dream Song’. As early as 2004 he orchestrated the first, rather Schumannesque studies, simply titled Four Pieces for Orchestra.

For Three Pieces for Orchestra he arranged the next three movements, in the original cycle called ‘English Studies’. The first, ‘With a restless and painful expression’ has the characteristic angular swing of the American boogie-woogie that became popular in the 1920ies. ‘Calmly moving’ is mainly set in the higher registers, where Glockenspiel, celesta and piccolos create a naive and innocent atmosphere. In the concluding movement, ‘Heavy’, the bass register is dominant.

Abrahamsen dedicated his piece to Sir Simon Rattle, who is making his farewell tour as chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. On the programme is also the completed version of Bruckner’s Symphony number 9. ‘The seven minutes of Three Pieces for Orchestra are wonderful, really wonderful music’, wrote a German critic. ‘It’s an extremely charming, very expressive work.’

Karina Canellakis on women in music: ‘Just go ahead & do it!’

On 16 March 2018 Canellakis made her debut with the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, in AVRTROSVrijdagconcert, in a programme featuring music by Britten, Shostakovich & Beethoven. I interviewed her for the live broadcast on the classical station Radio4 two days before, after her second rehearsal with the Dutch musisians. I was struck by the energy and enthusiasm with which Canellakis conducted, and by the freshness she brought to Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. The rapport between musicians and conductor was evident.

Her father was a conductor, yet it didn’t occur to her to follow in his footsteps. Karina Canellakis (New York, 1982) became a professional violinist, studying with Ida Kavafian at the Curtis Institute. She made a career in chamber music, and as soloist under renowned conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Esa-Pekka Salonen & Christian Thielemann. But she also played as an orchestral musician, notably in the Chicago Symphony and Berlin Philharmonic, whose Academy she attended from 2005-07.

It was Sir Simon Rattle who suggested she take up the conducting baton, but it took some years for this idea to sink in. After she’d finished a masters course in conducting with Alan Gilbert at Juilliard, her career gained momentum. From 2014-16 she was assistant conductor to Jaap van Zweden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. In 2014 she stepped in for him when he couldn’t conduct Shostakovich 8 – at such short notice she didn’t even have one rehearsal. Two years later she won the Georg Solti Conducting Award.

In our interview we talked about the relationship between playing the violin and conducting, about her cooperation with Jaap van Zweden and her hopes for the future. Little did we know that barely two months later Canellakis would be appointed chief conductor of the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. This is a milestone in more respects than one. First, it doesn’t occur often that a conductor is invited to be chief after their first ever concert. Secondly, Canellakis is the first woman conductor to become chief of an orchestra in the Netherlands.

When asked about her commitment to women composers, Canellakis replied this is not really one of her priorities, though she is committed to promoting music by forgotten composers in general. Also she ‘couldn’t care less’ about male conductors making derogatory remarks about women conductors: ‘It’s 2018! We mustn’t talk about it, we must just go ahead and do it!’
