ALS SPIELTEN DIE ELFEN SELBST
Fabelwesen, nächtlicher Spuk, märchenhafte Romantik – an Fantasie mangelte es William Shakespeare wahrlich nicht. Im Gegenteil: Seine Komödie »Ein Sommernachtstraum« ist voll von kuriosen Gestalten und magischen Orten, die auch den 17-jährigen Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in ihren Bann zogen – so sehr, dass er sofort zu Papier und Feder griff und die wunderbar-quirlige Poesie in einer Konzertouvertüre vertonte. Darin setzte Mendelssohn den Charme der literarischen Vorlage so genial in Musik, dass sie bis heute zu seinen beliebtesten Werken zählt. Zwischen Feen-Reigen und dem berühmten Hochzeitsmarsch ist aus dem Orchester sogar das »I-aah« eines verwunschenen Esels zu vernehmen. Später weitete Mendelssohn die Ouvertüre zu einer großen Schauspielmusik aus, die die Atmosphäre der Shakespeare-Komödie auf einzigartige Weise einfängt. »Das ist ein Necken und Scherzen in den Instrumenten, als spielten sie die Elfen selbst«, kommentierte Robert Schumann.

Passend dazu hat das Freiburger Barockorchester zwei frühe Werke von Franz Schubert im Gepäck, in denen der von Mendelssohn verehrte Komponist ebenfalls eine lyrische Stimmung entfaltet. Das auf authentisch-historische Aufführungspraxis spezialisierte, stets schmissig zu Werk gehende Freiburger Barockorchester verleiht dem traumspielhaften Abend einen ganz besonderen Klang.

Deutsch

Mythical creatures, nocturnal hauntings, fairytale romance – William Shakespeare was certainly not lacking in imagination. On the contrary: his comedy »A Midsummer Night's Dream« is full of strange characters and magical places that also cast a spell over the 17-year-old Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy - so much so that he immediately grabbed pen and paper and absorbed the wonderfully lively poetry set to music for a concert overture. In it, Mendelssohn set the charm of the literary original to music so ingeniously that it is still one of his most popular works today. Between the fairies and the famous wedding march, you can even hear the »Eye-eyy« of an enchanted donkey from the orchestra. Mendelssohn later expanded the overture into a grand incidental score that uniquely captures the atmosphere of Shakespeare's comedy.

Appropriately, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra has two early works by Franz Schubert in its luggage, in which the composer, admired by Mendelssohn, also develops a lyrical mood. The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, which specializes in authentic historical performance practice and always goes to work in a snappy manner, lends the dreamlike evening a very special sound.
