Haydn 2032

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haydn2032 is a privately financed long-term music project that provides for the performance and recording of all of his 107 symphonies until the 300th birthday of the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn . The musical director is the Italian conductor Giovanni Antonini , who, together with the Italian orchestra Il Giardino Armonico and the Basel Chamber Orchestra , has been performing one or two recordings a year as well as worldwide concert series since June 2014.

A complete recording (on period instruments) under the direction of Christopher Hogwood , begun in the 1990s, was not completed. There are a total of five complete recordings of Haydn's symphonies, although no historical instruments were used. The Haydn2032 project is intended to produce the first complete complete recording of the symphonies on historical instruments and with a true-to-original instrumentation.

Sponsorship

The Joseph Haydn Foundation Basel , founded in May 2013, acts as the formal legal, financial and organizational support structure . The board of directors is made up of the Swiss cultural manager Christoph Müller as well as Jeanne Lüdin-Geiger and Hanspeter Lüdin. The foundation is also the publisher of an exclusive collector's edition and the organizer of a series of concerts planned for Basel.

Residences

Long-term relationships exist with Radialsystem V in Berlin, where the opening concert took place in June 2014, and with the Haydn Festival in Eisenstadt ( Austria ) until 2017 . In addition, annual concert series are planned in the Tonhalle Zurich and in the Martinskirche (Basel) .

Program

Joseph Haydn's symphonic oeuvre is explored not chronologically, but thematically. Antonini arranges the symphonies according to subject complexes. In addition, individual works by composers living at the same time as Haydn are added to these.

The start of the Haydn2032 project was under the motto “La Passione” and includes the eponymous symphony “La Passione” in F minor Hob. I: 49 , the symphony in D major Hob. I: 1 and the symphony in G- Moll Hob. I: 39 also the music for the ballet Don Juan by Christoph Willibald Gluck . For 2015 the series “The Philosopher” and “Il Distratto” were planned.

Publications

The French group Outhere Music acts as a cooperation partner for the recording made for each project. At the same time, the Joseph Haydn Foundation Basel is publishing a luxurious collector's edition in book form with texts by contemporary authors. The photo agency Magnum Photos accompanies the project with changing photographers who contribute a cycle of images to each topic. La Passione was published in October 2014 as the first part of the collector's edition , enriched by a contribution by Giovanni Antonini, photos by Gueogui Pinkhassov and a literary essay by Bernhard Lassahn .
