John Neumeier and the Hamburg Ballet had to wait six months due to the pandemic before they could finally premiere the Beethoven Project II. The Beethoven Year served as the inspiration for Neumeier’s exploration of music that is brimming with impulses to movement. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, the “apotheosis of the dance,” as Richard Wagner called it, was the first symphony that was created entirely out of rhythm. It forms a central part of the Beethoven Project II, together with a violin sonata and excerpts from the oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives. Neumeier has created a choreography that is loosely based on Beethoven’s life – as previously in the Beethoven Project I, which was performed and filmed with great success in the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.

Fascinated by the examination of Ludwig van Beethoven’s music in his “Beethoven Project”, which premiered in 2018, John Neumeier continues his preoccupation with various musical forms by this composer and combines them like a kaleidoscope to create a choreographic image of Beethoven’s oeuvre. “Beethoven Project II” replaces the announced world premiere of the production “Beethoven 9”, which cannot be realized with live music under the currently valid hygiene protection regulations as not all required dancers, vocal soloists, choir and orchestra members are allowed to be on the stage at the same time.
John Neumeier’s music selection combines piano and chamber music works by Ludwig van Beethoven from the context of the Heiligenstadt Testament with an excerpt from “Christ on the Mount of Olives” and the complete Seventh Symphony.

Klavierkonzert Nr. 7 für drei Klaviere und Orchester F-Dur KV 242
Artists
Kent Nagano – conductor
Mari Kodama – piano
Paul Lewis – piano
Till Fellner- piano
Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg
The roots of Bartók‘s compositional thinking, to which rhythm is immanent, go back to his childhood: a little drum was his first favourite toy. This tendency to search for the percussive power of instruments remained a constant throughout his life and defined his artistic path, as his “Music for String Instruments, Percussion and Celesta” proves.
Not only did Alfred Brendel have a highly successful pianistic career, but his students have also become prominent performers: Mari Kodama, Till Fellner and Paul Lewis will enchant listeners on this evening in a concerto with an extraordinary cast: Mozart’s “Lodron” Piano Concerto for three pianos.

Marc Niemann – conductor
When Ludwig was still called Louis van Beethoven, he wrote his Piano Concerto in E-flat Major WoO4 at the age of 14. Mari Kodama, the soloist of the concert, has recorded the work in 2019 together with her husband Kent Nagano and the Deutsches Sinfonieorchester Berlin for the label Berlin Classics in an exemplary manner. This youthful work captivates with its carefreeness and already foreshadows the genius of later years.
