Sarah Ferede, Mezzo-Sopran
Sylwester Targosz-Salonek, Tenor

The Chorin Music Summer 2010 season opens with one of the most popular works for choir, soloists and orchestra. „Messa da Requiem“ can be seen as the culmination of Guiseppe Verdis experience as an opera composer.The piece is a musical setting of the Roman Catholic funeral mass. Howard Griffiths and his Brandenburg State Orchestra from Frankfurt, along with the Karl-Forster Choir from Berlin, make a guest appearance with a large cast of orchestra and choir, as well as the highly promising quartet of soloists.

Preußisches Kammerorchester

• Richard Wagner:
  Siegfried Idyll
• Richard Strauss:
  Konzert für Horn und Orchester Nr. 1 Es-Dur op. 11
• Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy:
  "Trompeten-Ouvertüre" C-Dur op.101
• Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy:
  Sinfonie Nr. 4 A-Dur op. 90 („Italienische“)

conductor:

Frank Zacher

soloist:

Stefan Dohr, Horn

Musical guests from the region present a romantic program rich in contrast: the Prussian Chamber Orchestra from Prenzlau with its musical director Frank Tacher, and Stefan Dohr, solo horn player from the Berlin Philharmonic. Richard Wagners „Siegried-Idyll“ takes us into the world of the epic Norse/Germainic saga, the Nibelungenlied, and Felix Mendelssohns „Midsummer Night's Dream“ into the fairytale world of William Shakespeare. These works with their strong descriptive musical language are in stark contrast to Richard Strauss' virtuoso Concerto for Horn and Orchestra, and the sonorous „Italian“ Symphony by Mendelssohn.

Saturday 12 June 2010, 3 pm

Berolina-Orchester e. V.
Berliner Symphoniker

• Robert Schumann:
  Symphonie Nr. 1 B-Dur op. 38 (Frühlingssymphonie)
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
  Konzert für Klarinette und Orchester A-Dur KV 622
• Ludwig van Beethoven:
  Symphonie Nr. 6 F-Dur op. 68 (Pastorale)

conductor:

Lior Shambadal

soloist:

Wenzel Fuchs, Klarinette

The works from Robert Schumann and Ludwig van Beethoven awaken associations with themes depicting Nature, even though the two composers spoke out against their two symphonies, „Spring Symphony „and „The Pastoral Symphony“ , bearing a programmatic meaning. This symphonic setting includes the famous Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra by W.A. Mozart with Wenzel Fuchs, solo clarinetist from the Berlin Philharmonic. The Berlin Philharmonic, with its principal conductor Lior Shambadal, show once again that it is only with consistently high levels of dedication, motivation, and enthusiasm that an orchestra can achieve success on the international orchestra scene.

A return performance due to the broad public success in 2007.

A musical picture book from Vienna around 1900 is portrayed by Reinhold Nowotny and his historical wind ensemble who perform in period costume. The musicians performed ,in period dress, their program in Chorin two years ago, and were a great success with the concert-goers.

Saturday 19 June 2010, 3 pm

Kammerorchester Berlin

• Ludwig van Beethoven:
  Konzert für Violine und Orchester D-Dur op. 61
  Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-Dur op. 36

conductor:

Gaetano d‘ Espinosa

soloist:

Katrin Scholz

Two contrasting works from Ludwig van Beethoven: the introverted and particularly sophisticated violin concerto and the richly contrasting Second Symphony portray the exceptional skills of the composer . The violist Katrin Scholz, a regular delight to concert goers here in Chorin, along with the Berlin Chamber Orchestra , can once again be enjoyed at this year's Music Summer.

Sunday 20 June 2010, 3 pm

Konzerthausorchester Berlin

• Bela Bartók:
  Der wunderbare Mandarin (Suite)
• Jean Sibelius:
  Violinkonzert d-Moll op. 47
• Johannes Brahms:
  Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-Dur op. 73
  Sinfonie Nr. 1 c-moll op. 68

conductor:

Lothar Zagrosek

soloist:

Viktoria Mullova, Violine

Bela Bartok's highly expressive music for the one act pantomime ballet „The Miraculous Mandarin“ from 1919 belongs to the influential compositions which made a significant contribution to the development of music history in the twentieth century. The ballet tells a sordid modern story of prostitution, robbery and murder. Jean Sibelius' sophisticated Violin Concerto expresses a very different character. Interpreted by Viktoria Mullova, one of the most distinguished violinists performing today. The final performance is of Johannes Brahms' Second Symphony, which due to the musical tone is popularly referred to as his „Pastoral“. With Lothar Zagrosek and the Berlin Concert House Orchestra,the afternoon program is in the best of hands.

Sunday 27 June 2010, 3 pm

Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt

• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
  Klavierkonzert Nr. 9 Es-Dur KV 271 "Jenamy"
• Gustav Mahler:
• Sinfonie Nr. 5 cis-Moll

conductor:

Howard Griffiths

soloist:

Lise de la Salle, Klavier

Amoung the early piano concerts from W.A. Mozart, the Piano Concerto No. 9 “Jeunehomme“ is considered the most important due to its remarkable composition, and also belongs to the most popular of Mozarts' works in this genre. The work is highly regarded by the critics. Alfred Brendel called it „one of the greatest wonders of the world“. Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony enjoyed an increase in popularity as a result of the inclusion of its Fourth Movement, the Adagietto, in director Lucchino Visconti's film „Death in Venice“.

Saturday 03 July 2010, 3 pm

Bachorchester des Gewandhauses Leipzig

• Josef Haydn:
  Sinfonie Nr. 48 „Maria Theresia“
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
  Klavierkonzert B-Dur KV 595
• Johann Christoph Graupner:
  Konzert für 2 Hörner, Pauken und Orchester F-Dur
• Georg Friedrich Händel:
  Music for the Royal Fireworks HWV 351
  Ouvertüre, Bourrée, La Paix, La Rejouissance

direction:

Christoph Funke

soloists:

Peter Rösel, Klavier
Marek Stefula, Pauken

The musicians from the Leipzig Gewandhaus are sure to offer a program packed with „Festmusik“. Haydn wrote his Symphony in C Minor to honour the visit of the Empress Maria Theresia to Esterhazy Palace, and Handel's Firework Music was composed on the occasion of the Peace of Aix-la-Chappelle. Johann Christoph Graupner, a composer of high Baroque music, was always on the cutting edge for his time and very innovative in his ideas for harmony, notation and use on instruments. In today's program we can enjoy the ceremonially majesterial Concerto for Two Horns and Timpani. Finally the Grand Seigneur of the piano, Peter Rösel, will perform Mozart's Concerto in B-flat major for Piano and Orchestra. Mozart introduces a reflective work into the afternoon's program.

Sunday 04 July 2010, 3 pm

Konzerthausorchester Berlin

• Richard Strauss:
  Der Bürger als Edelmann op. 59
• Anton Dvorák:
  Sinfonie Nr. 6 D-Dur op. 60

conductor:

Thomas Dausgaard

Richard Strauss' light Orchestral Suite „Der Bürger als Edelmann“ is based on his performance music to Molieres comedy „Le bourgeois gentilhomme“. A rare piece from the works of Richard Strauss, which incidentally is not to be missed.
Dvorák's Sixth Symphony secured him international fame following its premiere in 1881, where it was so well received that the Scherzo Movement was played as an encore. The influence of his native Bohemia, its sounds and its culture are abundant and give the work a refreshing flavour reminiscent of his Slavonic Dances.

Lukasz Borowicz

soloist:

Benedict Kloeckner, Violincello

The musicians from Halle will open their performance with one of the most popular overtures by Beethoven. Antonin Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor is the most often performed cello concerto and musically owes much to the folk music of his native Bohemia. The piece will be performed by the 21 year old Benedict Kloeckner, who in his short career has already managed to win a large number of prizes and awards. The 33 year old Lukasz Borowicz is principal conductor of the Warsaw Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and ranks amongst the most notable orchestra leaders of his generation. He makes his debut at the Chorin Music Summer with what to date is the relatively unknown „Polish“ Symphony by Tschaikowsky.

With the phenomenal success of last years concert based on the Royal Albert Hall's „Last Night of the Proms“, you can look forward to another afternoon of musical pomp and circumstance ! In London, many use the occasion for an exuberant display of Britishness, where flags, balloons and party poppers are all welcome. As a Brit we can rely on Howard Griffiths to make the occasion as authentic as possible. And what a program ! Waltz-melodies, the Italian opera, and the moment the audience has been waiting for ie Henry Wood's „Fantasia on British Sea Songs“ and Edward Elgar's „Pomp and Circumstance March No 1“ ( Land of Hope and Glory).
