TARMO PELTOKOSKI & DIE DEUTSCHE KAMMERPHILHARMONIE BREMEN

In the organizer's words:

Program:
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5 in D major
Arnold Schönberg: "Transfigured Night" op. 4
Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, op. 25

With "Verklärte Nacht", the poet Richard Dehmel left all conventions of poetic representation behind and inspired Schönberg in 1899 to write a string poem that ingeniously reflects the ambivalences of the fin de siècle: the strict sense of form and thematic work paired with a fluctuating sound that penetrates into the interstices of the unspeakable. The music world celebrates Schönberg's 150th birthday in 2024. "Verklärte Nacht" is one of his masterpieces. One composer he deeply admired was Brahms, whose enchanting 1st Piano Quartet is not performed in Schönberg's orchestration, but in the original version. Vaughan Williams sent a powerful message of peace to the world with his 5th Symphony in the middle of the Second World War. The British composer's music is heard far too rarely. But it is particularly close to Tarmo Peltokoski's heart and he is doing pioneering work here with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie.
