BHS Filharmónia Brno, Slovenský Filharmonický Zbor: 5 Legends of the Wild Wood Heinrich, A. P. (+3 More)

In the latest years Brno Philharmonic appears as a distinctive and inventional music ensemble, which is evidenced also by the joint project plans for the festivals Moravian Autumn and BMF. Anthony Philip Heinrich born in Bohemia (1781–1861) was the first full-time American composer. He transferred his fascination with wild nature sounds into many of his programme compositions, the eccentric Wild Wood Spirits’ Chant among them. Under the baton of Dennis Russell Davies the renowned, refined piano soloist Polina Osetinskaya will present herself in our country for the first time – and in three compositions at that. Beethoven’s unique Choral Fantasy for piano, chorus and orchestra captivates the listener by a juncture of concertante and cantata elements. Pärt’s equally extraordinary Credo, considered perhaps the most dramatic piece of his, is comprehended as a key to the insight into his stylistic transformation. Referring to the foundations of Christianity it stands as a symbol of truth and beauty. During its premiere in Tallinn the performance triggered both sensation and shock. The Poem of Fire by Alexander Scriabin freely follows the Prometheus myth; it starts with the chord which later was labeled as “mystic”. The composer was convinced that his music could bring about the unification of the disintegrated world.

English

Filharmónia Brno je v posledných rokoch výrazným a invenčným hudobným protagonistom, čoho dôkazom je aj dramaturgia spoločného projektu festivalov Moravský podzim a BHS. Anthony Philip Heinrich, narodený v Čechách (1781 – 1861), bol prvým americkým skladateľom „na plný úväzok“. Očarenie zvukmi divokej prírody preniesol do mnohých svojich programových skladieb, medzi ktoré patrí aj extravagantný Spev duchov divokého lesa.
Pod taktovkou Dennisa Russella Daviesa sa u nás po prvý raz a hneď trojnásobne predstaví renomovaná, noblesná klavírna sólistka Polina Osetinskaya. Beethovenova unikátna Fantázia pre klavír, zbor a orchester zaujme poslucháča spojením koncertných a kantátových prvkov. Rovnako výnimočné je aj Pärtovo Credo, považované za jeho azda najdramatickejšiu skladbu, o ktorej sa hovorí ako o kľúči k pochopeniu jeho štýlového prerodu. Odvolávajúc sa na základy kresťanstva je symbolom pravdy a krásy; pri premiére v Talline uvedenie diela spôsobilo senzáciu i šok. Báseň ohňa Alexandra Skriabina voľne vychádza z mýtu o Prometheovi; začína sa akordom, ktorý neskôr dostal prívlastok „mystický“. Skladateľ bol vo svojom egocentrizme presvedčený, že jeho hudba môže priniesť zjednotenie rozdrobenému svetu.
