THE MAESTRO AND BEETHOVEN VOL. 4
Beethoven and Brahms are the greatest symphonists of their generation. With Maestro Christoph Eschenbach on the conductor's podium, the music is in the most expert hands when Copenhagen Phil continues the musical journey into Beethoven's universe - and with Brahms as a supplement, an evening awaits with nothing less than two soul-shaking symphonies.

Sandwiched between the iconic Symphonies No. 3 and No. 5, Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 often goes under the radar as an innocent trifle. And that's a shame. Because with its sprightly melodiousness and irrepressible optimism, it is both atypical and deeply charming - where sumptuous party mood, joie de vivre and catchy melodies are the cornerstones of the master composer's all-too-rarely heard 4s.

Everyone loves Beethoven. But hardly anyone more than compatriot Johannes Brahms. After being heralded as the savior of German music and the reincarnation of Beethoven, Brahms had to prove his worth. He himself was weighed down by performance anxiety and said of Beethoven: " No one knows what it means to have his steps behind them. ” It took Brahms 14 years to complete his first symphony – but it was worth the wait. He succeeded in writing a dramatic masterpiece that springs from the past and at the same time points into the future. And Brahms continues where Beethoven left off – the symphony was teasingly called 'Beethoven's 10th'.


The concert is supported by the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation.

English

MAESTROEN OG BEETHOVEN VOL. 4
Beethoven og Brahms er deres generationers største symfonikere. Med Maestro Christoph Eschenbach på dirigentpodiet er musikken i de kyndigste hænder, når Copenhagen Phil fortsætter den musikalske rejse ind i Beethovens univers – og med Brahms som supplement venter en aften med intet mindre end to sjælerystende symfonier.

Klemt inde mellem de ikoniske symfonier nr. 3 og nr. 5 går Beethovens symfoni nr. 4 ofte under radaren som en uskyldig bagatel. Og det er en skam. For med sin sprælske melodiøsitet og ukuelige optimisme er den både atypisk og dybt charmerende – hvor overdådigt festhumør, livsglæde og iørefaldende melodier er hjørnesten i mesterkomponistens alt for sjældent hørte 4’er.

Alle elsker Beethoven. Men næppe nogen mere end landsmanden Johannes Brahms. Efter at være blevet udråbt til den tyske musiks frelser og Beethovens reinkarnation skulle Brahms bevise sit værd. Selv var han tynget af præstationsangst og sagde om Beethoven: ”Ingen ved, hvad det vil sige at have hans skridt bag sig.” Det tog Brahms 14 år at færdiggøre sin første symfoni – men det var ventetiden værd. Det lykkedes ham at skrive et dramatisk mesterværk, der udspringer af fortiden og samtidig peger ind i fremtiden. Og Brahms fortsætter, hvor Beethoven slap – symfonien blev drillende kaldt for ’Beethovens 10.’.
