Old San Juan/Heliopolis Besetzung Jay Beckenstein (saxophone) Tom Schuman (keys) Julio Fernandez (guitar) Scott Ambush (bass) Lionel Cordew (drums) Es ist nicht bekannt, ob Jay Beckenstein vor langer Zeit der Klassenbeste im Biologieunterricht war. Klar ist aber, dass der Musiker aus New York Anfang der 1970er-Jahre auf die Idee gekommen ist, seine Band nach einer Gattung der Grünalgen zu nennen. Von dieser Spezies sind rund 4000 Arten beschrieben, und genauso beständig, wie Grünalgen Gewässer besiedeln, so konstant tummeln sich Spyro Gyra – so der Band- und Grünalgenname – seit fast 50 Jahren in der Welt des Jazz. Über 10.000 Gigs hat die US-amerikanische Jazz-Fusion-Band in fünf Jahrzehnten auf sechs Kontinenten gespielt, sie wurde mehrfach mit dem Grammy ausgezeichnet und hat mehr als 30 Alben veröffentlicht, etliche Gold- und Platinauszeichungen eingeheimst und über zehn Millionen Tonträger verkauft. Fester Ankerpunkt bei all dem, was Spyro Gyra in ihrer langen Karriere gemacht haben, ist dabei Fusion. Die Musiker um das Gründungsmitglied, den Saxofonisten Jay Beckenstein, kombinieren smoothen Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Funk, Latin, Pop und Rock und kreieren daraus einen Sound, der vor allem immer eins ist: stilistisch offen und breit gefächert. „Kunst manifestiert sich in einer Vielzahl von Stilrichtungen und Kontexten. Deshalb haben wir überhaupt erst begonnen, Musik zu machen” – so die Philosophie von Spyro Gyra. Mit kreativer Energie, komplexer Spielfreude und großer Musikalität sind Spyro Gyra bis heute in der Welt des zeitgenössischen Jazz auf den Bühnen dieser Welt unterwegs. Und dabei haben sie immer etwas auf dem Schirm, was auch bei ihrer namensgebenden Algenart eine Rolle spielt: Artenvielfalt.

Brahms: Symphony No. 1 | Charles Dutoit & the Verbier Festival Orchestra

A symphonic classic played by young musicians: Brahms‘ Symphony No. 1 is performed by the Verbier Festival Orchestra under the baton of Charles Dutoit. The concert took place during the Verbier Festival in the year 2014. 00:00 Coming on stage 00:12 Un poco sostenuto – Allegro 14:14 Andante sostenuto 23:13 Un poco allegretto e grazioso 27:59 Adagio – Allegro non troppo ma con brio “Beethoven’s 10th” – was how Brahms’ champion Hans von Bülow described the first symphony by Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897). And that’s a huge compliment, as the symphonic genre had reached a zenith after Beethoven’s Ninth, which could just as easily have been an end point. Johannes Brahms’ first symphony was by no means an easy birth: he worked for a total of 14 years on the composition; he was 43 years old when he finally completed it. Initially, Beethoven’s powerful symphonic legacy was an impediment for Brahms: "I’ll never compose a symphony! You can’t have any idea what it’s like always to hear such a giant marching behind you." Words written by Brahms in 1870 to his friend, the conductor Hermann Levi. But with time, that giant turned out to be an inspiration and ultimately, with the composition of his first symphony, Brahms managed to set himself apart from Beethoven and to a certain extent, even overcome his gargantuan legacy. Meanwhile Brahms’ antipode Wagner postulated that the symphony genre was finished and turned his attentions to musical drama. Franz Liszt, on the other hand, pursued a programmatic development of the symphony into what became known as the symphonic poem. Thus, Brahms became Beethoven’s true heir. Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C minor Op. 68 is bursting with references to Beethoven. These were also certainly intended as nods of appreciation, but ones that should first and foremost be heard. For example in the final movement there are clear shades of the Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven’s Ninth: “Any jackass can hear that!” remarked Brahms. The concert was performed during the 2014 edition of the Verbier Festivals, seen as a top international gathering of classical music stars. The festival has been taking place every year in the Swiss Alps since 1994. As well as staging a varied concert program, the Verbier Festival also provides upcoming artists with the opportunity to work with major names in the world of classical music. The Verbier Festival Orchestra is made up of highly talented young musicians and was founded in the year 2000. The festival also gives young performers the chance to gain live concert experience under the guidance of leading conductors. During the course of his long professional life, the conductor Charles Dutoit (born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1936) has led more than 150 orchestras – making his a superlative musical career. He began conducting the Canadian Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal in 1977 and went on to record more than 80 CDs with the ensemble. He’s seen as particularly open to performing pieces of music that seldom get a hearing. Following metoo allegations against him in 2018, several orchestras severed all ties with Dutoit.
