Klassiker trifft auf unterschätztes Meisterwerk: Nur ein einziges Violinkonzert hat Ludwig van Beethoven der Nachwelt hinterlassen, doch damit ist ihm einer der populärsten und zugleich eigenwilligsten Gattungsbeiträge gelungen. Schon der Beginn mit den vier geheimnisvollen Paukenschlägen ist ungewöhnlich, und auch dem eigentlich erwarteten virtuosen Effekt erteilte Beethoven eine Absage und setzte vielfach auf gesangliche Linien und ein sinfonisch-dialogisches Verhältnis von Soloinstrument und Orchester – was der anhaltenden Popularität des Werkes keinen Abbruch tat. Deutlich weniger bekannt ist hingegen ›Die Seejungfrau‹ von Alexander Zemlinsky, basierend auf Hans Christian Andersens berühmtem Märchen ›Die kleine Meerjungfrau‹. Vermutlich fand der Komponist in der Geschichte um eine tragisch-unerfüllte Liebe Parallelen zu seinem eigenen Leben, in dem ihm die angebetete Alma einen Korb gab, um seinen Kollegen Gustav Mahler zu heiraten. Als ein »viel zu selten gespieltes Meisterwerk« bezeichnet Patrick Hahn diese umfangreiche Tondichtung des österreichischen Komponisten.

Deutsch

A classic meets an underrated masterpiece. Ludwig van Beethoven only left posterity a single violin concerto but in doing so, he produced one of the most popular but also idiosyncratic contributions to the genre. Even the beginning with its four beats by the timpani is unusual. Beethoven then foregoes the expected virtuoso effect and instead relies on lyrical phrasing and a relationship of symphonic dialogue between the solo instrument and the orchestra. This did nothing to diminish the work’s enduring popularity . Alexander Zemlinsky’s “The Mermaid”, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale, is much less well-known. Presumably, the composer saw parallels to his own life in the tragic tale of unrequited love as he was turned down by his adored Alma who ended up marrying his colleague Gustav Mahler. Patrick Hahn described this extensive tone poem by the Austrian composer as “a far too rarely performed masterpiece”.
