The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is one of the finest orchestras in the world for young musicians, offering a gateway to remarkable careers. A prime example is violinist Renaud Capuçon, who was selected by the orchestra’s founder Claudio Abbado in 1997 and soon rose to prominence as a chamber musician and soloist. For the »Elbphilharmonie Summer« festival, he now reunites with the orchestra and conductor Manfred Honeck, another alumnus who started as Abbado’s assistant and has now been at the helm of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for many years.
The programme includes the violin concerto by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who is best known for his Oscar-winning music for the Hollywood films »Anthony Adverse« (1936) and »The Adventures of Robin Hood« (1938). His orchestral music is deservedly acclaimed too, and this concerto in particular is now one of his most popular works, transporting listeners into a world of cinematic emotions in many places.

Completing the evening is an undisputed masterpiece of symphonic literature: Piotr Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. A melody that the composer described as a »complete surrender to fate«, one of the most beautiful horn solos in music history, a dance-like waltz and an ending that is not a waltz – Tchaikovsky needs nothing more to express the power of fate in sound and arouse every emotion conceivable. For Manfred Honeck, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth remains »one of the most profound symphonies of its time.«
