Nearly three decades had passed since Rachmaninov last wrote a symphony when he sat on the shores of Lake Lucerne in 1935 and heard the plush, lustrous sound of the great American symphony orchestras in his head.

This was the inspiration the composer needed to write his third and final symphony - a palpitating and harmonically adventurous essay on yearning and longing that combines the composer’s Romantic soul with wholly original new ideas.

Sir Mark Elder conducts Rachmaninov’s unusually transparent and finely contoured symphony here, after music with a whole lot more joy in its heart.

After the medieval prankster Till Eulenspiegel runs riot around Richard Strauss’s cartoonish orchestra, we hear Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in the sunny key of D major - the brightest and most joyous work the composer wrote.

Arabella Steinbacher is the soloist in this ray of musical sunshine from the composer more associated with impassioned fury and tortured introspection.

English

Med Richard Strauss’ fantastiske tour-de-force av et musikalsk drama, innleder Sir Mark Elder en konsert fylt med virtuos, romantisk og lyrisk orkestermusikk, med fiolinkonsertenes dronning i sentrum av det hele.

Sir Mark Elder innleder kveldens konsert med Richard Strauss’ fargerike, festlige og virtuose tonedikt hvor han på sitt fantastiske vis portretterer gjøgleren og eventyrfiguren Till Eulenspiegel, hans triks og påfunn, flørting og latterliggjøring av makten. Det ender ikke godt for Till, han tas til fange og dømmes til døden. Den tragiske slutten på hans liv skildres også livaktig i Strauss’ revolusjonerende orkesterverk.

Beethovens eneste fiolinkonsert som i dag er en klassiker og et romantisk mesterverk, ble komponert i løpet av noen få uker vinteren 1806 uten at den ble noen umiddelbar suksess. Verket består av en lang og dramatisk førstedel, en lyrisk og varm andresats og en livlig og virtuos tredjesats. Kveldens solist, Arabella Steinbacher, kommer fra Tyskland og anerkjennes som en av dagens ledende fiolinister. Hun har tidligere vært solist med Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester.

Sergej Rakhmaninovs tredje symfoni står Sir Mark Elders hjerte nært, og det er et verk han gjerne dirigerer. Symfonien regnes som den mest russiske av Rakhmaninovs symfonier, ikke minst takket være de folkedansaktige tema man finner i tredje og siste sats.
