Mit einem gewaltigen Hymnus auf die Wunder der Natur, die immer wieder neu entsteht und vergeht, schliesst das Sommer-Festival: mit Arnold Schönbergs Gurre-Liedern und dem Mysterium des ewigen Lebens. Rund 300 Mitwirkende — sechs Solist*innen, drei Chöre und das grossbesetzte NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester unter Alan Gilbert — werden Jens Peter Jacobsens tragische Geschichte vom König Waldemar und seiner Geliebten Tove erzählen: Sie wird von der eifersüchtigen Königin ermordet. Schönberg arbeitete fast zehn Jahre lang an diesem Riesenwerk, das ganz und gar spätromantisch klingt und mit einem triumphalen Sonnenaufgang schliesst. Doch trieb ihn die Neugier auch hier schon zu faszinierenden Experimenten, etwa einem expressionistischen Melodram. Gesprochen, nein: zelebriert wird es vom berühmten Bariton Thomas Quasthoff, der seine Gesangskarriere 2012 eigentlich beendete. Bei der Uraufführung der Gurre-Lieder im Jahr 1913 bejubelte das Wiener Publikum Schönberg frenetisch. Glücklich war er damit nicht, «weil ich voraussah, dass dieser Erfolg keinen Einfluss auf das Schicksal meiner späteren Werke haben würde». Man sollte die Feste feiern, wie sie fallen.

Deutsch

The Summer Festival closes with a powerful hymn to the wonders of a nature that is constantly emerging and passing away: with Arnold Schoenberg’s Gurre-Lieder, a work that addresses nothing less than the mystery of eternal life. Around 300 performers — six soloists, three choirs, and the large NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra under Alan Gilbert — will tell Jens Peter Jacobsen’s tragic story of King Waldemar and his lover Tove, who is murdered by the jealous queen. Schoenberg worked for almost ten years on this enormous score, which speaks an entirely late-Romantic musical language and ends with a triumphant sunrise. But even here, curiosity drove him to undertake fascinating experiments, such as Expressionist melodrama in which the vocal part is not sung but performed as Sprechgesang: here, by the famous baritone Thomas Quasthoff, who actually retired from his singing career in 2012. At the world premiere of Gurre-Lieder in 1913, the Viennese audience cheered Schoenberg frenetically. But he took no satisfaction, remarking: “I foresaw that this success would have no influence on the fate of my later works.” You should celebrate the good things when they happen.
