The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
Dvořák / Kurtág / Pintscher
The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen has always been open to new things. In Matthias Pintscher, who can be experienced in his own series in the 2016/17 season, they have the perfect partner. As a composer and conductor, he has long been in the premier league of the classical music business. Together with the pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who is held in high esteem in Hamburg, they build a bridge between Romantic and contemporary music.
The programme begins with Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Concerto, with Pierre-Laurent Aimard as the soloist playing this melodious work, which the legendary Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter regarded as the most difficult concerto in his repertoire. While Dvořák indulges in the melodies of his homeland, Mendelssohn invokes the foreignness of the High North in his »Scottish« Symphony.
Embedded in this romantic tension between homelands and faraway places, Matthias Pintscher presents in »Ex Nihilo« one of his own works that has a decidedly modern awareness. He describes the feeling of waking up in a foreign city with jetlag – biographical references can not be ruled out!
