Die Bremer Philharmoniker und ihr GMD Marko Letonja wandeln zwischen den Welten – und zwar dies- und jenseits des Atlantiks. Antonín Dvorák stattete seine 1890 in Prag uraufgeführte 8. Sinfonie mit einer ganz eigenen Klangsprache aus, mit der er sich von den großen Vorbildern Beethoven und Brahms emanizpierte. In dem von Heiterkeit und ungebrochener Lebensfreude geprägten Werk schwingt viel böhmische Volksmusik mit. Damit wurde es zu einem Bindeglied zwischen der europäischen Tradition und den Klängen der Neuen Welt, in die er schon bald als Direktor des National Conservatory of Music in New York eintauchen sollte. Stilistische Vielseitigkeit bewies auch George Gershwin mit seiner Südstaaten-Oper »Porgy and Bess«. Indem er spätromantische Klänge mit Avantgarde-Techniken und afroamerikanischen Elementen aus Jazz, Spiritual und Blues verband, schuf er eine American Folk Opera. Nicole Cabell und Eric Greene begeisterten in den Titelpartien bereits an der English National Opera und im Theater an der Wien. Wenn sie nun in Bremen aus Gershwins genialem Wurf einige der unsterblich gewordenen Titel anstimmen, die zu Jazz Standards wurden, wird die Bühne der Glocke zum berühmt gewordenen Straßenzug »Catfish Row« in Charleston, South Carolina!

The Bremen Philharmonic and their GMD Marko Letonja walk between the worlds - on both sides of the Atlantic. Antonín Dvorák equipped his 8th symphony, which premiered in Prague in 1890, with a very unique tonal language, with which he emancipated himself from the great models Beethoven and Brahms. A lot of Bohemian folk music resonates in the work, which is characterized by cheerfulness and unbroken joie de vivre. It thus became a link between the European tradition and the sounds of the New World, into which he would soon immerse himself as director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York. George Gershwin also demonstrated stylistic versatility with his southern opera »Porgy and Bess«. Combining late romantic sounds with avant-garde techniques and Afro-American elements of jazz, spirituals and blues, he created an American folk opera. Nicole Cabell and Eric Greene have already delighted audiences in the title roles at the English National Opera and the Theater an der Wien. When they now sing some of the immortal titles from Gershwin's brilliant throw in Bremen that have become jazz standards, the bell's stage becomes the famous street "Catfish Row" in Charleston, South Carolina!
