The Swedish Chamber Orchestra Plays Schubert’s Fourth Symphony
Franz Schubert wrote his fourth symphony, subtitled Tragic, at the age of 19. The Swedish Chamber Orchestra couples the symphony, which is far less tragic than the name suggests, with Joseph Haydn’s cello concerto in C major, featuring soloist Andreas Brantelid, and Anton Webern’s short but intense symphony.
The concert will be broadcasted in the Swedish Radio P2 Friday, March 15 at 7:03 pm.
Participants
Engelske dirigenten och violinisten Andrew Manze hyllas som en av sin generations mest inspirerande dirigenter med en kombination av både bred och djup repertoarkännedom, sällsynt kommunikationsförmåga och en osviklig utstrålning. Han var chefsdirigent för NDR Radiophilharmonie, Nordtyska radions symfoniorkester 2014–2023 och sedan 2018 är han förste gästdirigent för Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Han är återkommande gäst vid Mostly Mozart Festival i New York City och har den senaste tiden arbetat med orkestrar som Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Mozarteumorkestern i Salzburg, Concertgebouworkestern och Finska radions symfoniorkester, och lett Chamber Orchestra of Europe på turné i Tyskland.
Med NDR Radiophilharmonie har Andrew Manze gjort prisbelönta inspelningar av verk av Felix Mendelssohn och Mozart. Han har även spelat in Ralph Vaughan Williams samtliga symfonier med Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. I november 2016 beskrevs han av The Telegraph som ”den bäste av alla nu levande Vaughan Williams-uttolkare”. Han är också verksam som lärare, musikskribent och redaktör, Fellow vid Royal Academy of Music och gästprofessor vid Norges musikhögskola i Oslo.
The Danish-Swedish cellist Andreas Brantelid has performed with orchestras such as the London and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestras, the BBC Symphony, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, among others. He has worked with numerous outstanding conductors such as Philippe Herreweghe, Vasily Petrenko and Jukka-Pekka Saraste, and is a welcome guest at festivals in Verbier, Lockenhaus, Kuhmo and Moritzburg.
Brantelids chamber music partners include violinists Daniel Barenboim, Gidon Kremer, Joshua Bell and Nikolaj Znaider. He plays in a trio with the violinist Benjamin Schmid and the pianist Christian Ihle Hadland. His most recent recordings include an album with Haydn’s cello concertos (2021) and the CD 48 Strings (2022), which, with works for one to twelve cellos, pays homage to the four greatest cello composers at the beginning of the 20th century.
Andreas Brantelid was a member of the BBC New Generation Artist program 2008–2011. Since 2022 he has been teaching as a visiting professor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. He plays the “Boni-Hegar” Stradivarius from 1707, on loan from the Norwegian art collector Christen Sveaas.
