No other moment in the year is as magical as the end of the old year and the start of the new one, with its promise of a new beginning in the form of a virgin calendar: the deck of cards has suddenly been freshly shuffled. What could be more obvious than to ring in the new year with an appeal to the goddess Fortuna? And this is precisely what happened at the New Year’s Eve Concert on 31 December 2004, when Sir Simon Rattle conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker in a performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.

Leaving Home: Orchestral Music in the 20th Century, Vol. 4 - Three Journeys Thru Dark Landscapes [DVD]

Posted by kwakee

Three Journeys Through Dark Landscapes (Volume 4) examines the effect of fundamental political upheaval on the music of Béla Bartók, Dmitri Shostakovich and Witold Lutoslawski. All three composers actively embraced the climate of change in Eastern Europe and, despite adverse pressures, found a way to develop their own musical language in works of triumphant originality and power. Written and presented by Sir Simon Rattle, the foremost British conductor of our day, this series forms a fascinating introduction to, and overview of, the music of the twentieth century. Each of the seven programmes feature over thirty minutes of specially-shot music in performance, with Rattle conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion with the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle was one of the outstanding events of the past season. As before with the St. Matthew Passion, star director Peter Sellars succeeded in creating a staging which made the spiritual and dramatic content of the Passion story even more intensive. The New York Times also praised the “brilliant and energetic” playing of the orchestra, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the “haunting, almost unsurpassable singing of all those involved.” The top-class ensemble of singers was led by Mark Padmore, one of the leading Evangelist interpreters of our day.
