Kent Nagano and the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra
Ticket prices
German gravity and German gaiety in the key of D major: the Symphony No. 2 and the Violin Concerto belong to a serious but contented part of the oeuvre of Johannes Brahms. And playing this programme in what amounts to a tribute concert to the Hamburg-born composer will be his hometown orchestra.
The Second Symphony is full of carefree and fluttering joy, while the work's finálé practically bursts with energy. Nor does the Violin Concerto dispense with lively good humour, and the work even has a Hungarian connection to it, since Brahms wrote it for his closest friend, the Hungarian virtuoso József Joachim. This perhaps explains why the dance-like rhythms of the closing movement introduce a "heel-clicking” verbunkos theme. The soloist for the concerto will be one of the great violin discoveries of recent years, the 28-year-old Veronika Eberle, who was invited nearly a decade ago to the Marlboro Music Festival, one of the world's most prestigious chamber music workshops, by Mitsuko Uchida. She plays the "Dragonetti” Stradivarius.
