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!

Programme
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major, Op.35
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony no. 8 in C minor, Op.65
Overview

Shostakovich´s Symphony No. 8 and Tchaikovsky´s Violin Concerto

This symphony no longer exists. All radio recordings have been erased, the dissemination of the score is prohibited. Such was the fate of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony after the Second World War. Its lyrical and doubting mood was not in keeping with Stalin’s intoxication of victory and the propaganda machinery of his dictatorship. And it was not by chance that the composer made use of techniques borrowed from his great musical predecessors like Johann Sebastian Bach. Who among his contemporaries could portray both spiritual and bodily suffering as vividly as the Thomaskantor? Also not of this world are the Canzonetta of the second movement and many other passages from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. In this work the composer climbs from great spiritual depths back up to the blooming surface of the earth. From deepest doubt to irrepressible joy. What an evening!
