4. Akademiekonzert: Vladimir Jurowski: Concert Various

Benjamin Britten's first opera Peter Grimes is the starting point for the transboundary journey that this concert undertakes; it follows the composer's interests and biographical situation in his time. He wrote the Sinfonia da Requiem in 1940 in America, where he had temporarily sought refuge as a self-confessed conscientious objector before the Second World War; "I'm making it just as anti-war as possible," he said during composition. His Opus 18, Les Illuminations , represented shortly beforefor voice and orchestra on poems by Arthur Rimbaud, the departure into new realms that Britten would seek during his stay in the USA - here in an expressive, almost surrealistic reaction to the dream images conjured up by the poet. The vocal part will be interpreted by the brilliant soprano Sabine Devieilhe, who celebrated a brilliant debut at the National Theater in 2020 as Queen of the Night. From French poetry, the tone and intonation of which Britten took up so sensitively, the step to genuinely French symphony is not far: the suite from Claude Debussy's only opera Pelléas et Mélisande, compiled by the composer Marius Constant. Maurice Ravel, in turn, has with La valsewrote a paraphrase of the Viennese waltz shortly after the end of the First World War – a homage to a vanished world in which admiration for its achievements and horror at its destruction become arousing sounds.
