The interim talk with general director Sebastian Nordmann focussed, among other things, on spontaneity when making music together. This can be realised in a completely different way in chamber music than when conducting a symphony orchestra, of course.
Work of the week – Bryce Dessner's Piano concerto
I think we challenged each other. I wrote the first movement and sent it to her. It has a kind of passacaglia in it that keeps rolling back, almost like a baroque lament, although it is not sad.

Before a concert or other important moments, I like to talk to people. It distracts me and calms me down. You come from Finland and previously played in an orchestra in Helsinki. What was different?
Resonance of Berlin
His works combine design, 3D aesthetics and theory to create immersive, performative visual worlds and have been shown at CTM/transmediale, ZKM, Sonar+D and the Centre Pompidou, among others. Lucas Gutierrez lives in Berlin.
Very British

I particularly enjoy playing with my “Horensteinern”, we have known each other for a long time, are well-rehearsed and will certainly be making music together for many years to come. This time the program includes E.T.A. Hoffmann's Harp Quintet.
Work of the week – Bach's Christmas Oratorio
A stroke of luck for the upcoming Christmas Oratorio: beside others, all the arias and choral movements from two cantatas from 1733 ("Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen" BWV 213 and "Tönet, ihr Pauken" BWV 214) found their place in it with new text.
Four questions to Lera Auerbach
What was your initial spark to explore other art forms besides music? Music arises from silence, poetry from a white page, and painting from a blank canvas. I started playing the piano and composing music at four years old.
Work of the week – Stravinsky's "Sacre"
On the other hand, some parts of the audience were agitated by the fact that "Sacre" brought the sacrifice of a young woman to an archaic spring god onto the stage. It didn't belong there in the opinion of those who expected edification from culture.
Concert highlights
Our guests in the 2023/24 season include violin stars Julia Fischer and Christian Tetzlaff, pianists Lucas & Arthur Jussen and Jan Lisiecki, the Dresdner Kreuzchor, world-class stars such as Elisabeth Leonskaja, Hélène Grimaud and many others.

On the other hand, being a musician is so exciting because even after 38 years, new things always come along – pieces that have not been played before, new interpretations, new people around me and new discoveries, even in a symphony that has been played umpteen
Against Anti-Semitism and Hatred
Like racism and any other form of marginalisation, anti-Semitism can have no place in our society. Even under the current fraught circumstances, we must not allow ourselves to be guided by hatred and provocation. We can all make a contribution to this.
A feeling of beautiful naturalness
We also got to know each other personally in direct discussions about her scores.
Instrument of the Month Violin – Team player and eccentric
No other section is that large. Good to know that the violin is a team player; its timbre makes the others instruments shine.
Well prepared #4
Among us musicians, as everywhere else, there are different types: some need less time alone to be at peace with themselves , others more. Some like to retreat into their own space during their free time.
Work of the week - Richard Strauss’ “A Hero's Life”
Because five trumpets, four of each of the woodwinds, a large string and a full percussion section (plus a couple of other instruments) are also required, the Konzerthausorchestra will fill the stage to capacity.
Work of the week - Bruckner 7
Unlike others, he did not revise the work to any great extent. There is only one version, the autograph of which is kept in the Vienna National Library.
Five questions to Iván Fischer
Other critics might think that I'm making fun of feminism and the interchangeability of the sexes. That it seems a bit like a parody of our time. That would be a shame, I just want to offer food for thought and initiate a discussion.

I connect the orchestra to the HR department, but also to all other areas in the organisation, because everyone here has something to do with the orchestra.
