BIOGRAFIA



Born in Berlin, the Austrian conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt spent his childhood and youth in Graz, where he grew up in the Meran Palace. His father was a scion of the de la Fontaine-d’Harnoncourt-Unverzagt family, Counts of Luxembourg and Lorraine, his mother the great-granddaughter of Archduke Johann of Styria.

Heeding his early artistic ambition, he ultimately preferred to study cello at the Vienna Academy of Music. He joined the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as a cellist in 1952.

A year later he founded the Concentus Musicus Wien ensemble together with his wife Alice, to provide a forum for his increasingly intensive work with period instruments and Renaissance and baroque musical performance tradition. Nikolaus Harnoncourt collected historical instruments and, in addition to his performing and conducting activities, devoted his time to his philosophical analyses of „Musik als Klangrede” (music as speech), which have to date remained the seminal works on the performance of early music, the key to an entire universe of forgotten works and musical experiences buried under the sands of time.

From 1972 Nikolaus Harnoncourt taught performance practice and the study of historical instruments at the Mozarteum University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Salzburg, while at the same time enjoying growing success as an opera conductor. His debut at the Theater an der Wien with Monteverdi’s „Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria“ in 1971 was followed by the now legendary cycle of Monteverdi operas, which he developed in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, director at the Zurich Opera House, and which was universally acclaimed as a sensational breakthrough. This cycle was followed by an equally exemplary and ground-breaking cycle of Mozart operas, again at the Zurich Opera House and again in partnership with Ponnelle.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt’s career as a conductor of both orchestral works and opera encompasses Viennese Classicism, the Romantic repertoire and works from the 20th century. Some milestones are a Mozart cycle at the Vienna State Opera, the Salzburg Festival with mit Monteverdi’s „L'incoronazione di Poppea“ and Mozart’s „Le nozze di Figaro“, „Don Giovanni“ and „La clemenza di Tito“. In between, he repeatedly returned to Zurich with Weber’s „Freischütz“, Schubert’s „Des Teufels Lustschloss“ and „Alfonso und Estrella“, Offenbachs „La belle Hélène“, „La Périchole“ und „La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein“, or Verdis „Aida“.

With the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, Nikolaus Harnoncourt constantly reinterprets and rediscovers the grand repertoire of orchestral works: the concertos and symphonies of Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Dvorák and Bruckner, but also the works of Bela Bartók and Alban Berg.

A central venue for many of these projects has been and still is the styriarte Festival, founded in 1985 to establish a closer link between Nikolaus Harnoncourt and his home city of Graz. This is also where he first conducted Schumann’s „Genoveva“, the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s „Tristan and Isolde“ and, in 2001, Verdi’s „Requiem“. 2003 followed the first scenic production of an opera with Offenbach’s „La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein“. The highlight of the styriarte 2005 was Bizet's Carmen. In 2008 Nikolaus Harnoncourt not only conducted but also directed an opera in Graz: Mozart's „Idomeneo“, which was highly acclaimed by national and international media („once-in-a-hundred-years event“, Frankfurter Rundschau). And in 2009, he proved to even have "the blues running through his veins" (Die Welt) with a highly acclaimed production of Gershwin's „Porgy and Bess“.

Today, Nikolaus Harnoncourt is one of the few true stars among conductors worldwide. Performances like the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra enable him to reach an audience of millions, displaying the characteristic passion and fiery intensity that identify him, first and foremost, as a true servant of his art.

Deutsche Grammophon celebra l'80° compleanno di Nikolaus Harnoncourt con due importanti pubblicazioni in DVD

Deutsche Grammophon annuncia un’importante iniziativa per festeggiare gli 80 anni del celebre direttore e violoncellista tedesco, pioniere delle registrazione “filologiche”: due esclusive pubblicazioni in DVD che testimoniano al meglio il lavoro impeccabile e appassionato di una figura certamente centrale nel panorama musicale internazionale. Prima di tutto J. S. Bach: in un doppio DVD il primo e l’ultimo dei celeberrimi “Concerti Brandeburghesi” (BWV 1046 e BWV 1051), la “Coffee Cantata” BWV 211, il “Concerto per Oboe, Violino e Orchestra” in re minore e la “Suite n. 3” in re maggiore, brani per molto tempo difficilmente reperibili e mai prima d’ora pubblicati in DVD. Come contenuto extra, una lunga conversazione tra Harnoncourt e Klaus Lindemann (il regista) riguardo proprio i “Concerti Brandeburghesi”. La seconda uscita consiste in un DVD contenente la storica esecuzione de “Il Ratto dal Serraglio” di W.A. Mozart in occasione del Festival di Vienna del 1989. Un cast giovane e sorprendente in una produzione insieme innovativa e rigorosa, che vede Harnoncourt collaborare con i registi Ursel e Karl-Ernst Hermann. Un evento unico fino ad ora mai pubblicato. Entrambe le uscite sono previste per l’inizio di ottobre.
