Das Grafenegg Festival feiert sein 10-jähriges Bestehen! Das Tonkünstler-Orchester unter der Leitung von Yutaka Sado wird dabei von 22 Alumni des European Union Youth Orchestra unterstützt und von den Top-Solisten Klaus Florian Vogt, René Pape, Camilla Nylund und Elena Zhidkova begleitet.

Zum Jubiläum gehören die beiden Auftragswerke "Fanfare" und "An die Hoffnung" des diesjährigen Composer in Residence Christian Jost sowie Beethovens Ouvertüre zu Collins Trauerspiel „Coriolan“. Mit Beethovens 9. Symphonie erreicht der Abend seinen Höhepunkt. Durch die Leistung von "dem hervorragenden Bassisten René Pape, der fabelhaften Sopranistin Camilla Nylund und der großen Mezzosopranistin Elena Zhidkova zusammen mit dem Wiener Singverein erwies sich Beethovens Neunte als schlichtweg sensationell. Grandios!" (Kurier)

Festive Concert on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the Grafenegg Festival 2016.
Freedom, fraternity and humanity – this is what Beethoven’s 9th Symphony stands for. It opens the 10th Grafenegg Festival, performed by the Tonkunstler Orchestra, joined by 24 alumni of the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) and “a soloist quartet which no one could possibly imagine to be more prestigious” (Die Presse). “Vogt’s tenor and the Wiener Singverein were especially moving” (Wiener Zeitung) and “the vocal performance by excellent bass René Pape, the fabulous soprano Camilla Nylund and the brilliant mezzosoprano Elena Zhidkova … in Beethoven’s Ninth was just sensational. Bravo!” (Kurier) Composer in Residence Christian Jost’s new work also centres around Beethoven, featuring the song “An die Hoffnung” (“To Hope”), and “convincingly used an impressive orchestra” (Der Standard), with “tenor Klaus Florian Vogt as a well-cast soloist” (Salzburger Nachrichten).

Featuring Camilla Nylund, Elena Zhidkova, Klaus Florian Vogt, René Pape, Tonkunstler Orchestra, conducted by Yutaka Sado
