Ecstatic night music
In his series of works »Voyages«, which he began in 1997, Toshio Hosokawa thematises the dialogue between humankind and the universe. Sounds swelling and dissipating like waves. Nature answering us with a silence that bursts with energy. Hosokawa explores this yin and yang of sound and silence in »Extasis«, Part IV of the Voyages series, in which a solo accordion and orchestra resonate together in sound, fade away, unite in breath and face each other in outright contrast. The purpose of the journey is to unify humanity and the universe.
The Sir Jeffrey Tate Award of the Symphoniker Hamburg, initiated and endowed by Annegret and Claus-G. Budelmann, has been awarded every two years since 2020 to exceptionally talented young musicians. After Timothy Ridout and Martín García García, the exceptional young accordionist João Barradas will be honored in the third edition of the prize.
Mahler’s Symphony No. 7 is also a work of contrasts. Bright daytime euphoria in the first and final movements frame two movements of night music and a shadowy scherzo. The music of Romantic summer nights contrasts with sombre funeral marches, inner conflict meets idyl, and the border between dream and reality becomes blurred. Mahler regarded the symphony as his »best work«, one of »primarily cheerful character« in which »nature roars«.
