»Sunken Worlds«

The concert by Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic is full of contrasts. Johannes Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture and his Fourth Symphony are performed alongside Jörg Widmann’s 2011 flute concerto »Flûte en suite«, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic’s solo flautist, Dieter Flury. Widmann's music is a surprise to anyone hearing it for the first time. Full of delight, immediacy and intensity, but also of the drive of an explorer, the works of the 1973-born composer move between extremes. Not only a composer, but also one of the leading clarinettists of our age and also a conductor, Widmann is a musician in the fullest sense – and his compositions are not least attempts to sound out of the limits of his own music-making. Widmann wrote of his flute concerto: »Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here, only to reach the surface, like a Venetian gondolier’s song, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom. Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal colouring and an instrumental group from the orchestra. This allows the flute to attach itself to the wide variety of instrumental colours, become suffused with these colours and thereby shine«.
