Is it an oratorio? Or perhaps a song cycle? A symphony? An opera? Schönberg’s Gurre-Lieder does not fit into any category – it barely even fits on a stage: over three hundred performers are required, including the largest orchestra a composer had ever required. In this case, “enormous” does not just denote the size of the performing forces. With its immense sound, Schönberg’s setting of a wild, romantic fairytale poem by Jens Peter Jacobsen can only be described as gigantic, exuberant, and overwhelming, and represents the final peak of late Romanticism (or its glowing swan song). This monumental work has only been performed three times in the history of the BRSO: in 1965 with Rafael Kubelík conducting, in 1988 with Zubin Mehta, and in 2009 with Mariss Jansons (which, incidentally, was the year of the BRSO’s 60th anniversary). Sir Simon Rattle has adored Gurre-Lieder from an early age, and describes it as “sexy, elegant, sensual.” A more fitting work for this gala would be impossible to find. The BRSO is turning 75, Schönberg 150 – and in this case, more is more!

English

Oratorium? Oder doch: Liederzyklus? Symphonie? Oper? Schönbergs Gurre-Lieder passen in keine Schublade. Sie passen ja kaum auf die Bühne! Über 300 Mitwirkende, darunter die größte Orchesterbesetzung, für die je geschrieben wurde. »Enorm« meint hier nicht nur das personelle Ausmaß. Gigantisch!, überbordend!, überwältigend!, der voluminöse Klang dieser Vertonung einer wildromantischen Märchendichtung von Jens Peter Jacobsen und der letzte Gipfelpunkt der Spätromantik (oder auch ihr glühender Abgesang). Erst dreimal in der Geschichte des BRSO wurde dieses monumentale Werk überhaupt realisiert: 1965 unter Rafael Kubelík, 1988 unter Zubin Mehta und 2009 unter Mariss Jansons (übrigens zum 60. Jubiläum). Für Sir Simon Rattle sind die Gurre-Lieder eine alte Jugendliebe: »Sexy, elegant, sinnlich.« Unmöglich, dass es ein passenderes Werk für diese Gala geben könnte. Das BRSO wird 75, Schönberg 150 – da gilt: Mehr ist mehr!
