Festive Concert on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the Grafenegg Festival 2016 Freedom, fraternity and humanity – this is what Beethoven’s 9th Symphony stands for. It opens the 10th Grafenegg Festival, performed by the Tonkunstler Orchestra, joined by 24 alumni of the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) and ‘a soloist quartet which no one could possibly imagine to be more prestigious’ (Die Presse). ‘Vogt’s tenor and the Wiener Singverein were especially moving’ (Wiener Zeitung) and ‘the vocal performance by excellent bass René Pape, the fabulous soprano Camilla Nylund and the brilliant mezzosoprano Elena Zhidkova… in Beethoven’s Ninth was just sensational. Bravo!’ (Kurier) Composer in Residence Christian Jost’s new work also centres around Beethoven, featuring the song An die Hoffnung (‘To Hope’), and ‘convincingly used an impressive orchestra’ (Der Standard), with ‘tenor Klaus Florian Vogt as a well-cast soloist’ (Salzburger Nachrichten). BBC Music Magazine September 2017 “Under the Japanese Yutaka Sado, now their resident conductor, the orchestra plays extremely well…the last movement [of the Beethoven] takes off, to the evident pleasure of all concerned, and with a marvellously magisterial entry from René Pape. The soloists are a distinguished team [and] Sado brings the Symphony to a Dionysian ending such as few conductors any longer dare or care to do. – 4 out of 5 stars |
