LOVE AND LONGING
The Eric Ericson Choir in music by Wagner, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and new Swedish works.

På svenskaCopy link
The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir performs music by the major German Romantics Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Richard Wagner. Love and longing may be experienced in the music, however this programme also reflects on contrasts and tensions: Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was Jewish, Wagner an outspoken antisemite. Here they are juxtaposed in order to demonstrate differences and similarities. At the same time their music is observed by new pieces, where Staffan Storm reflects on Wagner and Britta Byström on Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

Staffan Storm is a composer who in part has stylistic roots in German late Romanticism. His opera Im Treibhaus – with a libretto by Ebba Witt-Brattström – depicted crucial events in Wagner’s stormy romantic relationship with Mathilde Wesendonck. With an international perspective, Britta Byström’s music may have more French and Impressionistic elements. She is one of Sweden’s most played composers and was featured at Konserthuset’s Composer Weekend in 2010.

The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir was founded in 1945 by Eric Ericson, and since then it has taken a central role in the Swedish and international music scenes. For generations of Swedish composers, the chamber choir was the ideal ensemble, with its typical Nordic sound and virtuosity. The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir is part of the absolute elite level of professional ensembles. The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra have enjoyed a close partnership since 2003.

English

Eric Ericsons Kammarkör framför musik av de stora tyska romantikerna Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy och Richard Wagner. Vi hör även verk av två samtida svenska tonsättare. Kärlek och längtan kan upplevas i musiken, men programmet speglar också motpoler och ett spänningsfält: underbarnet Mendelssohn-Bartholdy var jude, Wagner en uttalad antisemit. Här ställs de bredvid varandra för att belysa skillnader och likheter. Samtidigt kommenteras deras konstnärskap av nyskrivna verk, där Staffan Storm har förhållit sig till Wagner och Britta Byström till Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

Staffan Storm är en tonsättare som delvis har stilistiska rötter i den tyska senromantiken. Hans opera Im Treibhaus – med libretto av Ebba Witt-Brattström – skildrar några avgörande händelser i Wagners himlastormande kärleksrelation med Mathilde  Wesendonck. Med internationell utblick har möjligen Britta Byströms musik mer franska och impressionistiska drag. Hon är en av Sveriges mest spelade tonsättare och var föremål för Konserthusets Tonsättarweekend 2010.

Eric Ericsons Kammarkör grundades 1945 av Eric Ericson, och har sedan dess intagit en central plats i svenskt och internationellt musikliv. För generationer av svenska tonsättare har kammarkören varit en idealensemble med sin typiska nordiska klang och virtuositet. Eric Ericsons Kammarkör hör till det absoluta toppskiktet av professionella ensembler. Sedan 2003 har Eric Ericsons Kammarkör haft ett nära samarbete med Kungliga Filharmonikerna och Konserthuset.
