Info for Sibelius: Symphony No. 1 & En saga

Alpha startet einen kompletten Zyklus der Symphonien und der symphonischen Dichtungen von Jean Sibelius mit dem Göteborger Symphonieorchester (GSO) und seinem neuen musikalischen Leiter, dem finnischen Dirigenten Santtu-Matias Rouvali. Der 33-Jährige, der ursprünglich Schlagzeuger war, absolvierte eine Ausbildung an der berühmten Sibelius-Akademie.

Seine Karriere begann, als er in letzter Minute eine Dirigentenvertretung beim Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra übernahm. In der großen Tradition der finnischen Dirigenten ist Santtu-Matias Rouvali bekannt für seine äußerst körperlichen und organischen Interpretationen. „Unverkennbar fließt die Musik aus ihm heraus", kommentierte die Sunday Times. Als das Online-Magazin BACHTRACK ihn fragte, wie er den Orchesterklang formt, antwortete er: "Ich singe, ich bewege meine Hände so, wie die Musik klingen soll (....) Der Dirigent sollte irgendwo im Körper Tempo zeigen können (....) Ich war auch Schlagzeuger, damit meine Füße und Hände verschiedene Dinge gleichzeitig tun können. Wenn man die Partitur liest, singt man sie in seinem Kopf (....) Ich denke, es ist das Gefühl des inneren Grooves, das man durch das Spielen von Percussion bekommt, was in Sibelius' Musik sehr wichtig ist....“

Mit dem GSO findet er eine renommierte Truppe von Musikern mit einer beeindruckenden Diskographie und reiht sich in die Schar ihrer berühmten musikalischen Leiter ein - insbesondere Neeme Järvi, Chefdirigent des Orchesters von 1982 bis 2004 oder auch Gustavo Dudamel, der seine ersten großen Aufnahmen mit dem GSO machte, sowie Christoph Eschenbach und Kent Nagano, um nur einige zu nennen.

Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Dirigent




Santtu-Matias Rouvali
Hailed by The Guardian as ​“the latest sit-up-and-listen talent to emerge from the great Finnish conducting tradition,” the 2018/19 season will see Santtu-Matias Rouvali continuing his positions as Chief Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony and Principal Guest Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra, alongside his longstanding Chief Conductor-ship with the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra close to his home in Finland.

Rouvali has regular relationships with several orchestras across Europe, including the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Bamberger Symphoniker and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. As well as making his debut with the Münchner Philharmoniker this season, he also returns to North America for concerts with the Minnesota Orchestra and Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Following a very successful Nordic tour with Hélène Grimaud last season, the Gothenburg Symphony is back on the road in February 2019 for a tour hitting major centres in Germany and Austria with pianist Alice Sara Ott, and percussionist Martin Grubinger who premieres a new percussion concert by Daníel Bjarnason. Rouvali looks forward to other ambitious touring projects with his orchestras in the future, including appearances in North America and Japan.

In addition to the extensive tour, Rouvali’s season in Gothenburg opens with Strauss’ Alpine Symphony accompanied by Víkingur Ólafsson Mozart Piano Concerto No.24, and he looks forward to collaborations with Janine Jansen, Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Baiba Skride throughout the rest of the season.

As another cornerstone to his tenure in Gothenburg, he is adding his mark to the Orchestra’s impressive recording legacy. In partnership with Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra and violinist Baiba Skride, a recording featuring concertos from Bernstein, Korngold and Rozsa is released in autumn 2018.This continues his great collaboration with Baiba Skride following their hugely successful recording of Nielsen and Sibelius’ violin concertos with the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra in summer 2015.

Rouvali has been Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra since 2013. Highlights of the tenure so far include a Sibelius symphony cycle in autumn 2015, and the Orchestra’s first tour to Japan in spring 2017 where they were accompanied by an exhibition of original Moomin drawings by Tove Jansson to mark the opening of the new museum at the Tampere Hall. He opens the 2018/19 season with a Beethoven programme with pianist Javier Perianes.

Alongside an extremely busy symphonic conducting career, as Chief Conductor in Tampere he has conducted Verdi’s La forza del destino and most recently world premiere of Olli Kortekangas’s My Brother’s Keeper (Veljeni vartija) with Tampere Opera in spring 2018.
