1st Philharmonic Concert
BEETHOVEN / HOUGH
Begeben Sie sich mit uns auf die Spur der Uraufführungsenergie von Beethovens Klavierkonzert Nr. 3. Der englische Komponist und Pianist Stephen Hough hat sich von diesem Werk zu einer Neukomposition des zweiten Satzes inspirieren lassen. So erscheint es nicht allein als Spiegel der Vergangenheit, sondern auch als Teil des Hier und Jetzt. Mit Bruckners siebter Symphonie tauchen wir anschließend in eine musikalische Welt zwischen Pathos und Spiel.

The Hamburg State Orchestra's philharmonic concerts become ZeitSpielen and transcend the boundaries of the ordinary: In this concert, Stephen Hough will interpret Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto, entirely in the spirit of its author as both pianist and composer - for he will replace the second movement with a newly composed piece inspired by Beethoven's original. We encounter Beethoven today as a mirror of the past and at the same time, through Hough, as part of the here and now! This musical play without fear of contact opens up new perspectives on our musical culture, our way of thinking and being, on our way of receiving music.
“Through his music, Beethoven has become one of my closest friends. (...) From the beginning of his creative work, Beethoven's oeuvre contains a number of specific characteristics that run right through to the end. One of them is the search for a kind of ecstasy, a goal beyond the notes. I want to make something of this ecstasy resound in my composition.” Stephen Hough
