Among other pieces, the NDR Symphony Orchestra shall also be performing the piece Con Brio by clarinetist-composer Jörg Widmann, who has on many previous occasions performed with the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra. The entertaining and dynamic 12 minute overture has been commissioned, then performed in 2008 by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mariss Jansons. The composer’s task was to compose a piece that complements Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 and Symphony No. 8. The... title also refers to the musical directions of these pieces. The 37-year old artist is currently considered one of the best clarinetists in the world - few people can match the virtuosity and sparkle he lends to Mozart’s classic work, often referred to as the peak of clarinet pieces. The other star performer of the evening, Christiane Oelze has performed at the Palace of Arts in December 2006 with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, and most recently vowed Hungarian audiences as the soloist of the Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra. Oelze is a frequent guest on the largest opera stages and concert halls of the world. She has, among others, been conducted by Claudio Abbado, Simon Rattle, John Eliot Gardiner, and has performed Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with the New York Philharmonic and Symphony No. 4 with the Munich Philharmonic led by Daniel Gatti. Mahler finished the latter piece in 1901, and it is the shortest, and probably least troubled of his nine symphonies. Its main theme is a song composed in 1892 from the Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Magic Horn) collection: a child's vision of Heaven, which can be heard with lyrics in the final movement. The NDR Symphony Orchestra shall be conducted byMichael Gielen this evening.
