In the 19th century, people in Europe began to dream of foreign countries and people. The East in particular emerged to become a place of longing. “I want to see Damascus and Persia’s cities with their airy minarets. I want to see beautiful silk turbans over dark faces with gleaming teeth,” proclaims Maurice Ravel’s song cycle Shéhérazade, which evokes a distant dream world through melismas and lascivious chromaticism. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov had already chosen the figure of the Eastern storyteller Sheherazade from A Thousand and One Nights as the heroine of a tone poem a few years earlier. He characterizes the foreign beauty using arabesques and a delicate violin solo that is meltingly seductive, while the murderous Sultan appears with brass-armored, tyrannical chords. Rimsky’s colorful, sensuous orchestration also reveals an important motif of Orientalist fashion: exoticism and eroticism are closely related, separated only by a letter. In contrast, matters become entirely Italian in Gioachino Rossini’s Algeria, where the concert evening begins with a triumph of brio and good humor.

English

Im 19. Jahrhundert begann man in Europa von fremden Ländern und Menschen zu träumen. Vor allem der Orient stieg zu einem Sehnsuchtsort auf. «Ich möchte Damaskus sehen und Persiens Städte mit den luftig-leichten Minaretten. Ich möchte schöne Turbane aus Seide sehen über dunklen Gesichtern mit schimmernden Zähnen», heisst es in Maurice Ravels Liedzyklus Shéhérazade, der mit Melismen und lasziver Chromatik eine ferne Traumwelt beschwört. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakow hatte die Figur der orientalischen Märchenerzählerin Scheherazade aus Tausendundeiner Nacht schon einige Jahre zuvor zur Heldin einer Tondichtung erkoren. Er charakterisiert die fremde Schöne mit Arabesken und einem zarten Violinsolo von verführerischem Schmelz, während der mordlüsterne Sultan mit blechgepanzerten, tyrannischen Akkorden auftritt. Rimskys farbenprächtige, sinnliche Instrumentation verrät auch ein wichtiges Motiv der Orientmode: Exotik und Erotik sind eng miteinander verwandt, nur ein Buchstabe trennt sie. Ganz und gar italienisch geht es dagegen in Gioachino Rossinis Algerien zu, wo der Abend beginnt: mit einem Triumph des Brio und der guten Laune.
