Skandaløse undertoner
Thomas Adès’ musikk fra skandaleoperaen Powder Her Face innleder en konsert der Alpesh Chauhan dirigerer to av Sergej Rachmaninoffs mest populære verk: Rapsodi over et tema av Paganini med Stephen Hough som solist og Symfoni nr. 2.

Britiske Thomas Adès (f. 1971) er en vår tids mest fremførte orkesterkomponister. Han vakte for alvor oppsikt med kammeroperaen Powder Her Face i 1995, og orkestersuiten i tre satser har blitt et av hans mest populære verk. Operaen handler om den skotske sosietetskvinnen og hertuginnen Margaret Campbell, hovedpersonen i en av 1960-tallets største sexskandaler. Operaen skapte også oppstyr med svært eksplisitt innhold, men for Thomas Adès ble den først og fremst et springbrett til store oppdrag og berømmelse.

Den italienske fiolinisten Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840) var en skandaleombrust superstjerne på sitt instrument på 1800-tallet. Han var også komponist, og musikken hans satte en ny standard for fiolinteknikk. Mest kjent er en samling solostykker fra tidlig i karrien han kalte 24 capricer. Caprice nr. 24 er en serie halsbrekkende virtuose variasjoner og har inspirert mange komponister siden. Sergej Rachmaninoff skrev i 1934 24 nye variasjoner basert på den ene capricen og samlet dem i Rapsodi over et tema av Paganini for piano og orkester.

Sergej Rachmaninoff hadde sitt store gjennombrudd i 1901 med Pianokonsert nr. 2, og de neste årene ble hektiske med lite tid til å komponere. Løsningen ble å flytte til Dresden sammen med familien i tre års tid – en by med et fantastisk musikkliv der han samtidig kunne være anonym. Ensomheten bar frukter − Rachmaninoff fullførte Symfoni nr. 2 i 1907 og dirigerte selv urfremførelsen i St. Petersburg i januar 1908. Symfonien ble en ny triumf for komponisten, og er til dags dato den desidert mest populære av hans symfonier.

Scandalous undertones
Thomas Adès' music from the scandalous opera Powder Her Face opens a concert in which Alpesh Chauhan conducts two of Sergei Rachmaninoff's most popular works: Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini with Stephen Hough as the soloist and Symphony No. 2.

British Thomas Adès (b. 1971) is one of our time's most performed orchestral composers. He caused a stir with the chamber opera Powder Her Face in 1995, and the orchestral suite in three movements has become one of his most famous works. The opera is about the Scottish socialite and Duchess Margaret Campbell, the main character in one of the biggest sex scandals of the 1960s. The opera also caused a stir with its very explicit content, but for Thomas Adès, it was primarily a springboard to significant assignments and fame.

The Italian violinist Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840) was a scandal-ridden superstar on his instrument in the 19th century. He was also a composer, and his music set a new standard for violin technique. Most famous is a collection of solo pieces from early in his career called 24 Caprices. Caprice No. 24 is a series of breakneck virtuoso variations and has inspired many composers since. In 1934, Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote 24 new variations based on the one caprice and collected them in Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini for piano and orchestra.

Sergei Rachmaninoff had his big breakthrough in 1901 with Piano Concerto No. 2, and the next few years were hectic with little time to compose. The solution was to move to Dresden with his family for three years - a city with a fantastic music scene where he simultaneously could remain anonymous. Loneliness bore fruit − Rachmaninoff completed Symphony No. 2 in 1907 and conducted the first performance himself in St. Petersburg in January 1908. The symphony was a new triumph for the composer and, to date, is by far the most popular of his symphonies.
