Festivalsommer Klaus Mäkelä Johanna Wallroth: Earth’s Song Gupta (+2 More)

Edinburgh International Festival
I den første av to konserter under Edinburgh International Festival står musikk av Rolf Gupta, Jean Sibelius og Gustav Mahler på programmet. Klaus Mäkelä dirigerer og Johanna Wallroth er solist.

Rolf Gupta (f. 1967) er en av vår tids sentrale norske dirigenter, og har i tillegg vært aktiv som komponist fra slutten av 1980-tallet. Han skrev Jordens sang som et bestillingsverk til Kristiansand Symfoniorkesters 100-årsjubileum, og komponisten, orkesteret og dirigent Peter Szilvay ble tildelt Kritikerprisen 2020 for verket og fremføringen.

Jean Sibelius’ (1865−1957) Symfoni nr. 7 fra 1924 er komponistens siste symfoni og den eneste som består av én sammenhengende sats. Symfoni nr. 7 er en slags krysning av en symfoni og et symfonisk dikt – de musikalske ideene blir gradvis forvandlet, som om de lever sitt eget liv. Musikken beveger seg gjennom et enormt spekter av klangfarger, tempo og stemninger gjennom elleve distinkte deler, og munner ut i det Klaus Mäkelä kaller «en av de vakreste avslutningene som finnes.»

Gustav Mahler skrev sin Symfoni nr. 4 med utgangspunkt i en av sine egne sanger, Das himmlische Leben – “Det himmelske livet”. Teksten er et barns beskrivelse av himmelen, hentet fra en av Mahlers viktigste inspirasjonskilder: Des knaben Wunderhorn, en samling tysk folkediktning. Sangen, som synges av sopran i fjerde sats, utgjør også grunnlaget for de tre foregående satsene. Symfoni nr. 4 er Mahlers korteste og lyseste symfoni, og har vært en inngangsport for mange Mahler-entusiaster siden urfremførelsen i 1901.

Edinburgh International Festival
In the first of two concerts during the Edinburgh International Festival, music by Rolf Gupta, Jean Sibelius and Gustav Mahler is on the programme. Klaus Mäkelä conducts and Johanna Wallroth is the soloist.

Rolf Gupta (b. 1967) is one of the key Norwegian conductors of our time, and has also been active as a composer from the end of the 1980s. He wrote Earth's song as a commissioned work for the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra's 100th anniversary, and the composer, orchestra and conductor Peter Szilvay was awarded the Critics' Prize 2020 for the work and the performance.

Jean Sibelius' (1865-1957) Symphony no. 7 from 1924 is the composer's last symphony and the only one consisting of one continuous movement. Symphony no. 7 is a kind of cross between a symphony and a symphonic poem - the musical ideas change gradually as if they live a life on their own. The music moves through an enormous range of timbres, tempos, and moods through eleven distinct parts, culminating in what Klaus Mäkelä calls «one of the most beautiful endings there is.»

Gustav Mahler wrote his Symphony no. 4 based on one of his songs, Das himmlische Leben - "The heavenly life." The lyrics are a child's description of heaven, found in one of Mahler's most important sources of inspiration: Des knaben Wunderhorn, a collection of German folk poetry. The song, which the soprano performs in the fourth movement, is the foundation for the three previous movements. Symphony no. 4 is Mahler's shortest and brightest symphony and has been an entry gate for many Mahler enthusiasts since its premiere in 1901.
