The custom of celebrating the turn of the year with Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth goes back to Arthur Nikisch: On New Year's Eve 1918, he conducted the symphony for thousands of workers at a "peace celebration" at which the "joyful theme" sounded at exactly midnight. In this way he became the midwife of a tradition that quickly gained a foothold all over the world. Nevertheless, it is worth reliving this most radical symphonic work in music history every time: then you can feel the existential impact of the premiere, when the audience literally caught their breath at the use of human voices in the finale and completely unprepared harmonic turns.

Concert duration: approx. 80 minutes, no intermission
Broadcast date: December 29, 2022, from 10:15 p.m. on ZDF

English

Der Brauch, den Jahreswechsel mit Ludwig van Beethovens Neunter zu feiern, geht auf Arthur Nikisch zurück: Dieser dirigierte zu Silvester 1918 vor tausenden Arbeitern die Symphonie zu einer »Friedensfeier«, bei der das »Freudenthema« genau um Mitternacht erklang. So wurde er zum Geburtshelfer einer Tradition, die schnell in aller Welt Fuß fasste. Dennoch lohnt es sich, dieses radikalste sym­phonische Werk der Musikgeschichte jedes Mal neu zu erleben: Dann nämlich fühlt man die existenzielle Wucht der Uraufführung, als dem Publikum angesichts des Einsatzes menschlicher Stimmen im Finale und völlig unvorbereiteter harmonischer Wendungen regelrecht der Atem stockte.

Konzertdauer: ca. 80 Minuten, keine Pause
Sendetermin: 29. Dezember 2022, ab 22.15 Uhr im ZDF
