Das Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin stellt im Rahmen des Festivals Schall&Rausch zwei Meister der Opulenz in ungewöhnlichem Setting einander gegenüber: David Bowie und Anton Bruckner. David Bowies Album Heroes entstand 1977 in den Berliner Hansa Studios und bildet bis heute einen Meilenstein im außergewöhnlichen OEuvre Bowies.

Gemeinsam mit Produzent Brian Eno widmet er sich unter anderem im instrumentalen Stück Neuköln dem (falschgeschriebenen) Berliner Bezirk und seinen Bewohner:innen. Nun erklingt das Album, neu für Orchester arrangiert, an dem Ort, wo es hingehört: im Herzen Berlin-Neuköllns. Dem stellt Generalmusikdirektor James Gaffigan mit Anton Bruckners 6. Sinfonie ein Werk gegenüber, das stilistisch kaum weiter entfernt sein könnte – aber mit vielfältigen und raumgreifenden Klängen gemeinsam mit Heroes das Vollgutlager zum Klirren bringt.

Deutsch

As part of the Schall&Rausch festival, the orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin confronts two masters of opulence in an unusual setting: David Bowie and Anton Bruckner. David Bowie's album Heroes was created in Berlin's Hansa Studios in 1977 and remains a milestone in Bowie's extraordinary oeuvre.

Together with producer Brian Eno, he dedicates, among other things, the instrumental piece Neuköln to the (misspelled) Berlin district and its residents. Now the album, newly arranged for orchestra, can be heard in the place where it belongs: in the heart of Berlin-Neukölln. General music director James Gaffigan contrasts this with Anton Bruckner's 6th Symphony, a work that could hardly be further away stylistically - but with diverse and expansive sounds, together with Heroes , it makes the whole thing rattle.
