Festival

Easter Festival Baden-Baden 2021

Cultural ties have linked Baden-Baden with Russia for over 200 years. The story that began with a princess who became the tsar’s bride continues to this day with the many residents of our city with Russian roots. At the 2021 Easter Festival, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko will join us in remembering one of Russia’s most celebrated composers, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The orchestra will not only be interpreting his opera Mazeppa, but also Rachmaninoff’s Francesca da Rimini. Different Russian schools existed during Tchaikovsky’s time as the vast empire, its position straddling East and West, searched for an identity and aesthetic of its own. Tchaikovsky himself drew inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – a connection we will also be exploring during the Festival. At the 2021 Easter Festival, we will be building a bridge that spans a large cross-section of European cultural history – an undertaking for which BadenBaden is the ideal venue. Welcome to the 2021 BadenBaden Easter Festival!

Overview

Kirill Petrenko, Conductor, Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Though it remained unfinished, Mozart’s Requiem is one of the most influential scores of music history. By integrating Gregorian chorales and Handelian fugue themes into his music, the composer was a forerunner of nineteenth-century historicism. At the time, the work was regularly performed at large social events, having a lasting effect on the image of Mozart during this period. The instrumentation that included basset horns but no flutes, oboes, or horns anticipated the reduced orchestral scorings of composers like Stravinsky. Mozart thus created a masterpiece that continually radiated its influence toward the future and whose power and emotional poignancy still take our breath away today.
