The most impressive music has often emerged from rebelling against defeat. From great emotions to hidden resistance, works from the eventful 20th century impress in this concert with their stories made into sound. The Soviet-Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian tells a love story with the Adagio from his ballet Spartacus . Wonderfully passionate and melodic, the full orchestral sound illustrates the great feelings between the gladiator Spartacus and his wife Phrygia, which, however, have no future, since the slave uprising led by the rebels is put down and he himself is ultimately executed.

Musical rebellion can also be found in the grotesquely beautiful sounds of Dmitri Shostakovich's 5th Symphony, which the composer wrote in response to harsh criticism of his music not following Soviet ideals and the consequent threat of professional ban or even arrest. The concept worked: those in power were satisfied, while the audience perceived Shostakovich's sarcasm and only apparent obedience and celebrated the composer for it.

Since its creation in 1950, the trumpet concerto in A flat major by Khachaturian's compatriot Alexander Arutjunyan has also been celebrated. It ultimately made him internationally famous - on the one hand through the first and legendary recording of the dedicatee Timofei Dokschitzer and on the other hand through its captivating catchiness. "I love bathing in this carpet of sound," says the Norwegian soloist Tine Thing Helseth about the emotional and multifaceted concert. She will be making music for the first time with the Lower Saxony State Orchestra in Hanover. Conductor Anna Rakitina, who was born in Moscow and trained there and in Hamburg, is also making her debut in Hanover.

English

Aus dem Rebellieren gegen Niederlagen ist oft die eindrucksvollste Musik entstanden. Von großen Emotionen bis zum verdeckten Widerstand beeindrucken in diesem Konzert Werke aus dem bewegten 20. Jahrhundert mit ihren klanggewordenen Geschichten. Eine Liebesgeschichte erzählt der sowjetisch-armenische Komponist Aram Chatschaturjan mit dem Adagio aus seinem Ballett Spartakus. Herrlich leidenschaftlich melodiös illustriert der volle Orchesterklang die großen Gefühle zwischen dem Gladiator Spartakus und seiner Frau Phrygia, welche jedoch keine Zukunft haben, da der von dem Rebellen angeführte Sklavenaufstand niedergeschlagen und er selbst letztlich hingerichtet wird.

Musikalische Rebellion steckt auch in den grotesk schönen Klängen der 5. Sinfonie von Dmitri Schostakowitsch, die der Komponist als Antwort auf harte Kritik an seiner zu wenig den sowjetischen Idealen folgenden Musik und folglich drohenden Berufsverbot oder gar Verhaftung schrieb. Das Konzept ging auf: Die Machthaber zeigten sich zufrieden, während das Publikum Schostakowitschs Sarkasmus und nur scheinbaren Gehorsam wahrnahm und den Komponisten dafür feierte.

Gefeiert wird seit seiner Entstehung 1950 auch das Trompetenkonzert As-Dur von Chatschaturjans Landsmann Alexander Arutjunjan. Es ließ ihn letztlich international berühmt werden – einerseits durch die erste und legendäre Aufnahme des Widmungsträgers Timofei Dokschitzer und andererseits durch seine bestechende Eingängigkeit. „Ich liebe es, in diesem Klangteppich zu baden“, sagt die norwegische Solistin Tine Thing Helseth über das emotionale und facettenreiche Konzert. Mit dem Niedersächsischen Staatsorchester Hannover wird sie zum ersten Mal musizieren. Ebenfalls ihr Debüt in Hannover gibt die in Moskau geborene und dort sowie in Hamburg ausgebildete Dirigentin Anna Rakitina.
