A HIGHLIGHT FOR THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY

Jansons conducts Schoenberg’s?Gurre-Lieder

Schoenberg’s?Gurre-Lieder?is exceptional in every way. The sheer effort of performing it is so immense that it is rarely heard in concert. This monumental creation, after a poem by Jens Peter Jacobsen, has been performed only three times in the history of the BRSO: once under Rafael Kubelík in 1965, again under Zubin Mehta in 1988 and finally, in 2009, by Mariss Jansons, who used it not only to highlight the orchestra’s 60th birthday but also to fulfil a wish dear to his heart. Jansons’s enthusiasm for Schoenberg’s setting of the legend of the Danish king Waldemar and his secret love for the maiden Tove knew no bounds: he dreamt of performing it at the site of the poem, the ruins of Gurre Castle on the Danish island of Zealand. He even dreamt of a film version. But in the end it was sensation enough simply to have the score resound in the Munich Philharmonie.?Gurre-Lieder?is considered the ultimate pinnacle of late romanticism – and rightly so. But Part III of this huge edifice – completed in 1911, nearly ten years after the first two parts – already points far into the future. The melodrama entitled “The Wild Hunt of the Summer Wind”, declaimed here by Michael Volle, is itself a bold piece of modern music. First-class performers and long periods of rehearsal are required in order to make acoustical reality of its disparate styles, from lyrical orchestral hymns to operatic scenes and the subtlest of sonic nuances – another reason why performances of it are so rare. In Munich, Mariss Jansons and the BRSO, expanded to some 130 musicians, plus the choruses of the Bavarian, North German and Central German Broadcasting Companies and a sterling team of solo vocalists, reaped storms of applause.
