She was the first woman to win the coveted "Prix de Rome": What marvels would the French artist Lili Boulanger have brought to the music world if she hadn't died in 1918 at the age of just 24? With the delicate tone painting  D'un matin de printemps  , Michael Sanderling recalls this highly talented composer. And then conducts two farewell works. Richard Strauss can be heard with the  Four Last Songs , his beauty-drunk swan song to romantic music. The weightless melismas and jubilant flights of fancy in the solo part are performed by Joyce El-Khoury; Born in Lebanon, she is now involved in humanitarian and educational work in her home country. After the break, Tchaikovsky's famous  Pathétique will be played, which ends in extinction, like a musical death. The fact that the composer actually died of cholera, which he possibly contracted intentionally, just a few days after the premiere, seems macabre. "Tchaikovsky was a torn personality, he never really found his place in society," believes Sanderling. And celebrates the sixth as a moving requiem.

English

Sie war die erste Frau, die den begehrten «Prix de Rome» gewann: Welche Wunderwerke hätte die Französin Lili Boulanger der Musikwelt noch beschert, wenn sie nicht schon 1918 mit nur 24 Jahren verstorben wäre? Mit dem zarten Tongemälde D’un matin de printemps erinnert Michael Sanderling an diese hochbegabte Komponistin. Und dirigiert anschliessend zwei Abschiedswerke. Richard Strauss ist zu hören mit den Vier letzten Liedern, seinem schönheitstrunkenen Abgesang auf die romantische Musik. Die schwerelosen Melismen und jubilierenden Höhenflüge des Soloparts gestaltet Joyce El-Khoury; im Libanon geboren, engagiert sie sich heute humanitär und pädagogisch für ihr Heimatland. Nach der Pause erklingt Tschaikowskys berühmte Pathétique, die verlöschend endet, wie ein ausmusizierter Tod. Dass der Komponist tatsächlich nur wenige Tage nach der Uraufführung an der Cholera starb, mit der er sich möglicherweise absichtlich infizierte, erscheint makaber. «Tschaikowsky war eine zerrissene Persönlichkeit, er hat seinen Platz in der Gesellschaft nie wirklich gefunden», glaubt Sanderling. Und zelebriert die Sechste als ergreifendes Requiem.
