Brasileiro: Chôros No.7, W199 (+1 More)

Heitor Villa-Lobos is without a doubt the most famous Brazilian composer. His two best-known and most successful series of compositions are represented in this concert with pieces from the "Bachianas Brasileiras" and the "Choros" series. With the "Bachianas Brasileiras" Villa-Lobos was inspired by the contrapuntal style of Johann Sebastian Bach, who had been his greatest role model since childhood. In contrast to this is the "Choros" series, with which Villa-Lobos deliberately brought elements of Brazilian folklore and folk music from the late 19th century into the concert halls. With Francisco Mignone (b. 1897) another high-calibre Brazilian musician is represented. His "16 Waltz for Bassoon" are unique in the repertoire of this instrument and are now performed by solo bassoonists worldwide. As with Villa-Lobos, Mignone's pieces are based on elements of folk music. The occupation of a saxophone between the otherwise well-known orchestral instruments finally ensures a very special sound color - and Brazilian good mood!

English

Heitor Villa-Lobos ist ohne Zweifel der bekannteste brasilianische Komponist. In diesem Konzert sind mit Stücken aus den "Bachianas Brasileiras" und der "Choros"-Reihe gleich seine beiden bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Kompositionsreihen vertreten. Bei den "Bachianas Brasileiras" ließ Villa-Lobos sich vom kontrapunktischen Stil Johann Sebastian Bachs inspirieren, der seit seiner Kindheit sein größtes Vorbild war. Im Gegensatz dazu steht die "Choros"-Reihe, mit der Villa-Lobos gezielt Elemente der brasilianischen Folklore und der Volksmusik des ausklingenden 19. Jahrhunderts in die Konzertsäle geholt hat. Mit Francisco Mignone (geb. 1897) ist ein weiterer Hochkaräter der brasilianischen Musik vertreten. Seine "16 Walzer für Fagott" sind einmalig im Repertoire dieses Instruments und werden mittlerweile von Solo-Fagottist*innen weltweit vorgetragen. Wie bei Villa-Lobos dienen als Grundlage dieser Stücke Mignones Elemente der Volksmusik. Die Besetzung eines Saxofons zwischen den sonst altbekannten Orchesterinstrumenten sorgt schließlich für eine ganz besondere Klangfarbe - und brasilianische gute Laune!
