DR Koncerthuset 2017/18 4MALKO COMPETITION 2018Velkomst

Velkommen til den 18. udgave af DR SymfoniOrkestrets internationale Malko Konkurrence.

Det er altid en fascinerende oplevelse for os i orkestret at opleve den særlige energi, som de unge Malko-deltagere bringer med sig ind på podiet her i Koncertsalen. Det er de unge dirigenter, der skal bære den klassiske musik ind i fremtiden, og vi musikere brænder alle for at give dem de allerbedste betingelser – og ikke mindst for at finde den helt rigtige vinder af konkurrencen.

Det er en stor glæde og stolthed for os i DR SymfoniOrkestret, at vores chefdirigent Fabio Luisi er gået helhjertet ind i arbejdet med Malko Konkurrencen, hvor han for første gang vil være juryformand og personlig mentor for konkurrencens vinder. Vi er sikre på, at Luisi med sin dybe musikalitet og store internationale erfaring vil være den bedst tænkelige vejleder for det unge talent, der som del af førsteprisen vinder kontrakter med 25 orkestre fra hele verden.

Vi oplever i år en international bevågenhed omkring Malko Konkurrencen, som er uden sidestykke i konkurrencens historie. Takket være nye medie- og streaming-aftaler med verdens førende musiktidsskrift Gramophone og Medici TV når konkurrencen i år ikke blot ud til alle danskere via DR’s kanaler, men også til hundredtusindvis af musikelskere verden over. Det er klart, at det giver en særlig spænding for både orkester og deltagere at vide, at så mange følger deres mindste bevægelser.

Intet slår dog den særlige magi, som opstår i rummet, når stærke musikalske persolig-heder indtager podiet foran 100 dybt koncentrerede musikere. Vi er glade og taknem-melige for, at I som publikum har valgt at opleve Malko Konkurrencen ’live’ her i DR Koncerthuset. Det betyder alt for de medvirkende på scenen at musikken kan få liv og nærvær foran et rigtigt, levende publikum.

Til sidst vil vi gerne fra DR SymfoniOrkestrets side sige en varm tak til Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond, Augustinus Fonden og Beckett-Fonden. Uden deres generøse støtte ville vi ikke have kunnet løfte det store arbejde, der ligger bag Malko Konkurrencen 2018.

God fornøjelse!

DR Koncerthuset 2017/18 5MALKO COMPETITION 2018 Welcome

Welcome to the eighteenth edition of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra’s interna-tional Malko Competition.

It is always a fascinating experience for us in the orchestra to feel the special energy that the young Malko competitors bring with them to the podium here in the concert hall. The young conductors are the ones who will be carrying classical music into the future, and we musicians all fervently wish to give them the very best conditions – and not least to find the absolutely right winner of the Competition.

It is a great source of pleasure and pride for us in the Danish National Symphony Orchestra that our chief conductor Fabio Luisi has entered wholeheartedly into the work with the Malko Competition, where for the first time he will be chairman of the jury and personal mentor for the winner of the Competition. We are sure that Luisi, with his pro-found musicality and great international experience, will be the best conceivable guide for the young talent who, as part of the First Prize, will win contracts with 25 orchestras from all over the world.

This year we are experiencing a heightened international awareness of the Malko Competition that is unparalleled in the history of the Competition. Thanks to the new media and streaming agreements with the world’s leading music magazine Gramophone and Medici TV, this year the Competition will reach not only all Danes via DR’s channels, but also hundreds of thousands of music lovers all over the world. Obviously it means a special level of excitement for both orchestra and competitors to know that so many are following their every move.

There is nothing to beat the special magic that arises in the hall when powerful musical personalities take the podium in front of 100 deeply concentrated musicians. We are happy and grateful that you, as the audience, have chosen to experience the Malko Competition live here in the DR Concert Hall. It means everything for the participants on stage that the music can be given life and presence in front of a real, living audience.

Finally, we of the Danish National Symphony Orchestras would like to express our warm thanks to the foundations Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond, Augustinus Fonden and Beckett-Fonden. Without their generous support, we would not have been able to bear the huge burden of work that lies behind the Malko Competition 2018.

Enjoy!

Ud over at have stået i spidsen for et hav af franske operaopsætnin-ger vandt han sidste år 3. prisen i Liège Internationale Konkur-rence for Operadirigenter.

DR Koncerthuset 2017/18 20MALKO COMPETITION 2018Poul Ruders: Sarabande Blues

”Alene titlen siger det hele: et stykke musik, hvori royal elegance omfav-ner sjælfuld melankoli i et lydunivers, hvor fløjlsblødt symfonisk tusmørke skrider værdigt over dansegulvet, hånd i hånd med barokkens majestæ-tiske dans: Sarabanden. Den historiske Sarabande var altid i 3/4, men i det her tilfælde – selvom jeg holder mig til et tredelt slagmønster i hver takt – varierer længden på hver af de tre slag fra takt til takt: fra langsom puls til lidt hurtigere til meget langsomt etc. Hvis man prøver at forestille sig en slags akustisk forstørrelsesglas, som svinges ind og ud af fokus, kommer man tæt på ideen bag.” (Poul Ruders, marts 2018)

Den danske komponist Poul Ruders har opnået stor international berøm-melse, en række priser og flere amerikanske Grammy-nomineringer for sin orkestermusik. Han har bl.a. skrevet fem symfonier og flere operaer, hvoraf særligt Tjenerindens fortælling har vundet international genklang. New York Times har bl.a. skrevet om Ruders: ”En højst original fornemmelse for harmoni og tekstur løber gennem næsten ethvert Ruders-værk – sammen med en smittende kærlighed til det store udtryk.”

“The name or title alone says it all: a piece of music where courtly elegance embraces soulful melancholy, a world where velvety symphonic twilight and the majestically striding dance of the Baroque, the Sarabande, sweep along, hand in hand. The historical Sarabande was always in 3/4, but in this case – although I stick to having a pattern of 3 beats inside each bar – the duration of the individual beat varies from bar to bar: sometimes the pulse is slow, then slightly faster in the following bar, then very slow etc. Try and imagine a sort of acoustic magnifying glass being wielded in and out of focus, and you´ll get the idea.” (Poul Ruders, March 2018)

The Danish composer Poul Ruders has won international fame, a number of prizes and several American Grammy nominations for his orchestral music. Among other works he has written five symphonies and several operas, among which The Handmaid’s Tale has evoked an international response. The New York Times has for example written about Ruders: “A highly original ear for harmony and texture, as well as an infectious love of the large gesture, runs through almost every Ruders work.”

Anna Roknic Kinman arbejder både med skulptur og musik og udtaler om begge kunstarters betydning for hende: ”Mellem de to kunstarter fi ndes ingen modsætninger, men linjer og bevægelser, rytme og puls. Det er meningen med livet - abstrakt eller konkret. Musikken bygges af subtile variabler som med præcision spiller sammen og skaber kompleksitet. De bliver først interessante når de får et klart udtryk. Der gælder det samme når jeg udtrykker mig visuelt i kunsten. Tyngde, lethed, rytme og puls. Alt vises når vi indånder. Malko-statuettens konkrete form og udtryk er et forsøg på at fange koncertøjeblikkets mentale nærvær, nerve og intensitet.”

Anna Roknic Kinman (f. 1973) har Mastergrader i musik og musikpædagogik (bratsch). Siden 2002 har hun også lavet skulpturer til udstillinger, offentlige pladser og porcelæn til restauranter. www.annarkinman.se

Anna Roknic Kinman works with both sculpture and music and says of the signifi cance of both arts for her: “Between the two arts there are no contradic-tions, but lines and motion, rhythm and pulse. That is the point of life – abstract or concrete. Music is built up of subtle variables which play together with precision and create complexity. They only become interesting when they are given clear expression. The same applies when I express myself visually in art. Weight, lightness, rhythm and pulse. It is all manifested when we breathe in. The specifi c form and expression of the Malko statuette are an attempt to capture the mental presence, nerve and intensity of the concert moment”.

Anna Roknic Kinman (b. 1973) holds Master degrees in Music Performance and Music Education (viola). Since 2002 she has also made sculptural art for exhibitions, public places and items for restaurants awarded with Michelin stars. www.annarkinman.se
