Klaus Mäkelä has proved to be an excellent Beethoven conductor, and now, he will sink his teeth into Beethoven’s Third Symphony, the ‘Eroica.’ Beethoven changed the course of history with this work; it broke all conventions to become a genuine monument within the orchestral repertoire. Felix Mendelssohn’s famous overture, The Hebrides, will also grace the programme, along with the seldom performed concert aria, Infélice.

The solo will be sung by the superb soprano Reiss Chen, who has been a guest with the Concertgebouw Orchestra on two previous occasions. She will also sing the Hero und Leander ‘dramatic scene’ by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, a composer whose music has started to posthumously emerge from the shadow of her famous brother, Felix. In fact, this will be the first time the Concertgebouw Orchestra performs one of her works; attention to her lush style of composition is therefore long overdue. ‘We wanted to create one composition using the works by Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn,’ according to Klaus Mäkelä.

English

Klaus Mäkelä heeft zich al bewezen als een voortreffelijke Beethoven-dirigent en stort zich nu op diens Derde symfonie, ‘Eroica’. Met dit werk schreef Beethoven geschiedenis. Het doorbrak alle conventies en werd een waar monument van het orkestrepertoire. Daarnaast klinkt Felix Mendelssohns geliefde Ouverture ‘Die Hebriden’ én de weinig uitgevoerde concertaria Infélice. 

De soliste is de voortreffelijke sopraan Chen Reiss, die al tweemaal bij het Concertgebouworkest te gast was. Ze zingt ook in de ‘dramatische scène’ Hero und Leander van Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn, die sinds kort postuum uit de schaduw van haar beroemde broer Felix komt. Het Concertgebouworkest speelde zelfs nooit eerder werk van haar. Tijd om kennis te nemen van haar weelderige compositiestijl. ‘We wilden werken van Felix en Fanny Mendelssohn samen één compositie laten vormen’, aldus Klaus Mäkelä.
