Zum Abschluss der fünf Beethoven-Festtage die Sinfonie der Superlative: die Neunte mit dem Chorfinale auf Schillers »Ode an die Freude«. Es liegt im Wesen großer Musik, dass man sie immer wieder gerne hört – und dass sie jedes Mal aufs Neue frisch und anders klingen kann. Gerade in der Neunten kommen sich Beethoven und Chefdirigent Dudamel besonders nahe.

Hier der komponierende Revolutionär, der mit seinem Spätwerk die sinfonische Form sprengt, die Musikgeschichte in ganz neue Bahnen lenkt und mit diesem Werk zugleich eine beeindruckende universelle Friedensmission postuliert. Dort der charismatische Dirigent, der nicht nur die großen Werke des Repertoires zum Klingen bringt, sondern die Musikgeschichte mit zahlreichen Kompositionsaufträgen weitertreibt, der viel Zeit der Arbeit mit Jugendlichen widmet und möglichst vielen Menschen Musik nahe bringen will. Nicht zuletzt deshalb hat ihn das amerikanische Time-Magazin zu den 100 einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Welt gezählt. Auf diesen Höhepunkt darf man gespannt sein!

Saved for the conclusion of the five-day Beethoven festival is a symphony of the highest order: the Ninth with its famous choral finale from Schiller’s »Ode to Joy« and essentially a majestic piece of music that one gladly listens to again and again, each time sounding crisp and unique. The list of similarities between Beethoven and Principal Conductor Dudamel starts to grow longer when one takes this symphony into consideration.

On one side, the revolutionary composer, whose late works exploded the symphonic form. He steered music history in a completely new direction and demanded universal peace with his Ninth Symphony. On the other side, the charismatic conductor, who not only juggles a repertoire of great works with ease, but also writes music history with countless new commissions, dedicates much of his time to working with young people and dreams of bringing music to as many people as possible. No wonder Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. This concert is a highlight not to be missed!
