One day in 1934, the German composer Carl Orff encountered set of vivid poems charting the outlandish japes of the Golliards - a group of hedonistic monks and students from the 1200s. Orff was utterly captivated.

These vivid texts found a perfect home in the ritualistic, Stravinsky-influenced style the composer had been honing - a style full of motoric rhythms, driving energy, percussive power and cinematic orchestration.

Orff’s Carmina Burana has since become one of the most iconic and recognizable works in musical history, loved as much by the huge orchestras and choirs it demands as by movie directors and advertising executives. Alongside its furious rhythms and stern texts, Carmina has haunting tenderness and biting humour. Aziz Shokakimov conducts it here.

It follows bracing music by Berlioz and the first performance of the Bassoon Concerto by one of Norway’s most distinguished living composers, Olav Berg, played by former Bergen Philharmonic principle and internationally respected bassoonist Dag Jensen.

English

Seks kor og stort orkester hyller våren, kjærligheten og den gode maten og drikken i Orffs Carmina Burana, og Dag Jensen, en av verdens ledende fagottister, urframfører Olav Bergs fagottkonsert.

«O Fortuna!» innleder Carl Orffs spektakulære mesterverk Carmina Burana, trolig det mest framførte korverk i moderne tid. Det musikalske uttrykket i verket veksler mellom korpartier med kraftfulle, primitive rytmer og enkle harmonier til avsnitt preget av den gregorianske kirkemusikken og tysk folkemusikk. Tekstene hyller våren, ungdommen, kjærligheten, erotikken og lovpriser god mat og godt drikke.

Kveldens solist, Dag Jensen, er en av verdens ledende fagottister, og ble engasjert som kontrafagottist i Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester som 16-åring. Etter kort tid rykket han opp som alternerende solofagottist. Han flyttet så til Tyskland hvor han har vært solofagottist i flere orkestre. Jensen har spilt inn flere cder, er aktiv som solist og kammermusiker samtidig som han underviser. Han har hatt et særlig fruktbart samarbeid med komponisten Olav Berg, og har uframført flere av hans verk.

«Et lærebokeksempel på fagottvirtuositet som sprer god stemning. Absolutt anbefalt!», skriver tyske Klassik.Heute om Jensens innspilling av Bergs konsert.

Aziz Shokhakimov innleder kveldens konsert med den kanskje mest berømte satsen fra Berlioz’ Romeo og Julie, feenes dronning Mabs scherzo. Hele den dramatiske symfonien framføres under ledelse av Sir Mark Elder i april 2025.
