This is a composer you should definitely get to know. Born in 1887, Florence Price came from an African American family in Arkansas and, in her own words, had to struggle with two “handicaps” at the same time: being a woman and being Black. Although her First Symphony, which combines folk melodies and chorales with jazzy moments, was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1933, her work was subsequently almost forgotten. Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra have made it their mission to rediscover Price’s oeuvre: “Perhaps one day her symphonies will become repertoire pieces,” the maestro hopes. But opening the program is a work that has remained central to the repertoire: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, whose first four notes have become not only the composer’s signature but the emblem for classical music in general. And with Valerie Coleman, a contemporary Black composer is on the program. Her music beguiles with its atmospheric intensity and noble, tonally beautiful lyricism. She has written a new song cycle for the soprano Angel Blue, which will be heard in its Swiss premiere.

English

Diese Komponistin sollten Sie unbedingt kennenlernen: Die 1887 geborene Florence Price stammte aus einer afroamerikanischen Familie in Arkansas und hatte, so ihre eigenen Worte, mit gleich zwei «Handicaps» zu kämpfen: nämlich Frau und schwarz zu sein. Obwohl ihre Erste Sinfonie, die volkstümliche Melodien und Choralweisen mit jazzigen Momenten verbindet, 1933 beim Chicago Symphony Orchestra uraufgeführt wurde, geriet ihr Schaffen doch nahezu in Vergessenheit. Yannick Nézet-Séguin und das Philadelphia Orchestra haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Prices OEuvre wiederzuentdecken: «Vielleicht werden ihre Sinfonien eines Tages Repertoirestücke», hofft der Maestro. Ein unumstrittenes Repertoirstück eröffnet das Programm: Beethovens Fünfte Sinfonie, deren vier erste Noten zum Erkennungszeichen des Komponisten, ja zum «Jingle» der klassischen Musik avanciert sind. Und mit Valerie Coleman ist eine zeitgenössische schwarze Komponistin zu hören, deren Musik durch atmosphärische Dichte und nobles, klangschönes Melos betört. Für die Sopranistin Angel Blue hat sie einen neuen Liedzyklus geschaffen, der als Schweizer Erstaufführung erklingt.
