Sobre o Evento

Neste concerto muito aguardado, ouça os sons melífluos da música clássica de Johann Sebastian Bach e Philip Glass na preciosa e mundialmente famosa Konzerthaus Berlin.

Quem estiver familiarizado com os concertos dirigidos pelo maestro honorário Iván Fischer notará como ele apresenta sempre obras em combinações inesperadas. Em colaboração com o famoso grupo vocal Chorwerk Ruhr, este programa explora a "música coral contemporânea no contexto das formas musicais tradicionais", construindo uma ponte cultural entre o cristianismo barroco e uma interpretação americana do século XIX da história da paixão hindu.

A comovente cantata "Senhor, não entres em juízo com o teu servo" reflecte a profunda angústia de um penitente do século XVIII pelos seus pecados. No entanto, a fé cristã e a expressão musical de Bach transmitem esperança, especialmente no coral final, que oferece conforto com o seu suave acompanhamento de cordas.

Entremeadas com a cantata de Bach estão duas obras de cariz espiritual do compositor minimalista Philip Glass. Abrem com a peça de música de câmara "Façades", de 1981, originalmente concebida para o filme "Koyaanisqatsi", que explora a relação entre o homem e a natureza.

Relativamente à sua segunda obra, Philip Glass refere que a vida e os ensinamentos de Sri Ramakrishna tiveram uma influência formativa na Índia moderna, "revitalizando a cultura hindu a partir das suas raízes espirituais". Com "Passion of Ramakrishna", estreada em 2006, Glass traça vividamente o sofrimento, a morte e a transfiguração do monge.

Konzerthaus Berlin

The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall situated on the Gendarmenmarkt, the most beautiful square in the city. Built in 1821, the structure initially served as a theater. Severely damaged in the Second World War, it was rebuilt as a concert hall in 1977, with a neoclassical interior, and changed its name to reflect its new function in 1994. Consistently numbered among the top five concert halls in the world, the Konzerthaus hosts around 500 performances every year, ranging from symphony and chamber concerts featuring international stars to new music and children's concerts.

Johann Sebastian Bach

The name Bach and the word musician had long been synonyms in Germany as the world saw 56 musicians from this kin. But it was Johann Sebastian Bach, a genius composer and virtuoso organ player, who shed lustre on his family name. He was born on th 31st of March 1685 in Eisenach, a small town in Thuringia. At the age of 10 he became an orphan and was brought up by his elder brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist in a neighbouring town. His brother was the one to teach music to the young Johann Sebastian. Later he moved to Luneburg where he attended a church school and mastered the techniques of playing violin, viola, piano and organ by the age of 17. Besides that, Bach was a choir singer and later after his voice broke he became a chanter’s assistant. In 1703 Bach was hired as a court musician in the chapel of Duke Johann Ernst III. He earned such a good reputation there that he was later invited to Arnstadt to be an organist at the New Church, where he wrote his best organ works. In 1723 he moved to Leipzig to be a chantor at St. Thomas Church where he stayed until his death of a stroke in 1750. In the year of his death he had undergone unsuccessful eye surgery which lead him to lose his eyesight. During that strenuous time his second wife Anna Magdalena helped him to write his last musical pieces. Bach’s artistic legacy is vast. He created compositions in all genres of the time: oratorias, cantatas, masses, motets, music for organ, piano and violin.
