Jan Willem de Vriend conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in the most iconic symphony ever written.

Beethoven railed against fate in his Symphony No. 5, its famous ‘da da da daaaa’ opening capturing ideals of fortitude, defiance and bravery in an instant. Beethoven’s Fifth remains one of classical music’s essential experiences.

But there is far more to this concert than Beethoven at his most revolutionary. Before we head to Vienna, we are in Italy. After the cheeky, bombastic and feel-good overture Rossini wrote for his comic opera The Thieving Magpie.

And how often do you get to hear a concerto for the lowest stringed instrument, the double bass? Star Korean bassist and recoring artist Mikyung Sung (photo: Woo Young) is the soloist in the operatic, virtuosic and surprisingly charming concerto by the so-called ‘Paganini of the Double Bass’, Giovanni Bottesini.

English

Energiske Jan Willem de Vriend dirigerer BFUng for første gang i et program som slås i gang med en sprudlende italiensk operaouverture, går over i virtuost kontrabass-spill og avrundes med Ludwig van Beethovens symboltunge symfoni.

Jan Willem de Vriend og BFUng lar skarptrommen slå an tonen for kveldens konsert, med Rossinis sprudlende og eviggrønne ouverture til operaen Den tyvaktige skjære.

Giovanni Bottesini var på 1800-tallet verdenskjent som kontrabassens Paganini. Han spilte først fiolin og pauke, men skiftet senere til kontrabass. Han turnerte verden rundt og spilte en sentral rolle i å få anerkjennelse for kontrabassen som et soloinstrument. Selv komponerte han virtuose verk for instrumentet, og hans konsert nr. 2 fra 1845 er en av de meste spilte. I konserten brukes hele kontrabassens register for å demonstrere solistens virtuositet.

De første, mektige og symboltunge tonene i Beethovens femte symfoni er trolig det mest kjente og gjenkjennbare motivet i den klassiske musikken. Disse tonene, ofte tolket som lyden av at skjebnen banker på døren, har kanskje blitt gjenstand for flere fortolkninger enn noen andre. Vi kan se fram til en frisk, energisk og ungdommelig tolkning ledet av Jan Willem de Vriend.
