KAMIOKA, MOZART AND THE LITTLE MERMAID
Copenhagen Phil's Japanese chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka is also an excellent pianist. Now he sits down at the keys and takes on the demanding dual role of both soloist and conductor in music by Mozart - at a farewell concert, which is also his last as chief conductor of the orchestra.

Mozart's sparkling Piano Concerto No. 17 is exuberant joie de vivre. The composer was at the height of his creative power, and it is said that he got the idea for the main theme of the final movement from the song of his tame beast star. Sure enough, the music flows effortlessly. Still, holding together both the piano part and leading the orchestra is a feat – something only musicians of Toshiyuki Kamioka's caliber can master.

The impossible love is the focal point of HC Andersen's The Little Mermaid . It was precisely this theme that led Austrian Alexander von Zemlinsky to compose his symphonic tone poem about the adventure in 1903. He was hopelessly in love with Alma Schindler, but the feelings were not reciprocated. She instead married Zemlinsky's friend and colleague, Gustav Mahler.

Zemlinsky's masterpiece reflects the mermaid's despair with heartbreaking musical atmospheres. The enormous score requires a gigantic orchestra, which Copenhagen Phil redeems this evening in collaboration with the next generation of orchestral musicians from Det Kgl. Danish Conservatory of Music.


The concert is supported by the Obel Family Foundation.

KAMIOKA, MOZART OG DEN LILLE HAVFRUE
Copenhagen Phils japanske chefdirigent Toshiyuki Kamioka er også en fremragende pianist. Nu sætter han sig til tangenterne og indtager den krævende dobbeltrolle som både solist og dirigent i musik af Mozart – ved en afskedskoncert, der samtidig er hans sidste som chefdirigent for orkestret.

Mozarts perlende klaverkoncert nr. 17 er sprudlende livsglæde. Komponisten var på højden af sin kreative skaberkraft, og efter sigende fik han ligefrem ideen til finalesatsens hovedtema af sin tamme beostærs sang. Nok flyder musikken ubesværet afsted. Alligevel er det en bedrift at holde sammen på både klaverstemmen og lede orkestret – noget, kun musikere på Toshiyuki Kamiokas niveau kan mestre.

Den umulige kærlighed er omdrejningspunktet i H.C. Andersens Den Lille Havfrue. Netop det tema fik østrigske Alexander von Zemlinsky til at komponere sit symfoniske tonedigt over eventyret i 1903. Han var håbløst forelsket i Alma Schindler, men følelserne var ikke gengældt. Hun giftede sig i stedet med Zemlinskys ven og kollega, Gustav Mahler.

Zemlinskys storværk afspejler havfruens fortvivlelse med hjerteskærende musikalske atmosfærer. Det enorme partitur kræver et gigantisk orkester, som Copenhagen Phil denne aften forløser i samspil med næste generation af orkestermusikere fra Det Kgl. Danske Musikkonservatorium.


Koncerten er støttet af Det Obelske Familiefond.
