Mahler’s spirits. Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini’s “Spiriti” for orchestra

It might seem audacious to venture to place any piece of music alongside the gigantic symphonic creations of Gustav Mahler. And yet this is the essence of the commission from the Jena Philharmonic and its Music Director Simon Gaudenz for the composer Andrea Scartazzini. A short, self-contained orchestral work has been composed to complement each of the Mahler symphonies, each relating to Mahler’s music and intellectual world.

Dieter Ammann’s Piano Concerto now in Munich

In the few months since its first performance at the BBC Proms in London, Dieter Ammann’s “Piano Concerto (Gran Toccata)” has already been performed several times – in Taipei, Boston and Helsinki – each time to astonished and enthusiastic audiences. The pianist Andreas Haefliger is soloist and initiator of the concerto. With stupendous virtuosity, he is central to the series of performances of the work. Following the American and Finnish premieres, conductor Susanna Mälkki now conducts the German premiere on 9, 10 and 12 January 2020 with the Munich Philharmonic.

Funeral rites. Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini encounters Gustav Mahler

Over several years the Swiss composer has complemented the Jena Philharmonic’s Mahler cycle with his own companion pieces. For each concert Scartazzini has written a symphonic movement, and with each Mahler performance these new movements join together to form a large-scale orchestral work. The beginning was Torso in October 2018. Like this, Epitaph also draws on a lyric text by Rainer Maria Rilke.
