Reiner Ginzel

Reiner Ginzel studied with the distinguished cello teacher Prof. Karl Grosch, a pupil of the legendary cellist Julius Klengel, making him a direct descendant in the German cello teaching tradition initiated by Bernhard Romberg and passed on by Justus Johann F. Dotzauer and Friedrich Grützmacher. Ginzel subsequently refined his skills in master classes with teachers including Natalia Shakhovskaya, assistant to Mstislav Rostropovich. He was also a prizewinner at that time in a range of German and international competitions.
REINER GINZEL gained valuable musical inspiration from his collaborations with such outstanding musicians as composers Krzysztof Penderecki, Hans-Werner Henze and Pierre Boulez, and singers Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Peter Schreier.
For some years he was solo cellist with several top-flight German orchestras before being offered a professorship at Munich’s University of Music and Performing Arts. Reiner Ginzel is also a member of the renowned GERMAN STRING TRIO, an ensemble with which he has recorded well over thirty CDs.
In addition to his work as an international adjudicator (e.g. ARD Competition Munich), Reiner Ginzel is an editor for the publishers PETERS (Frankfurt/Leipzig) and HENLE (Munich), producing many new editions of diverse cello works by composers ranging from Bach, Haydn, Beethoven and Boccherini to Schubert, Schumann and Dvořák and on to Debussy and Reger.
Reiner Ginzel particularly enjoys creating programmes that combine music and literature, taking his inspiration from actors Gerd Westphal and Christian Quadflieg. In recent times he has appeared increasingly as a conductor in musical centres such as Munich, Prague, Budapest and Tokyo. Tours have taken him to almost every European country, America, Africa and south-east Asia. His varied musical activities are documented by many radio and TV recordings as well as on CD.

Im Jahr 2002 wurde das ZÜRCHER BAROCKORCHESTER von einer Gruppe junger Musikerinnen und Musiker ins Leben gerufen. Die ersten Projekte fanden in kammermusikalischer Besetzung statt – diese überschaubare Größe wie auch die Neugierde der Mitglieder schaffte einen idealen Rahmen zum Experimentieren und Ausprobieren. Nach dieser Aufbauphase wurde die Besetzung laufend vergrößert, so dass heute neben den weiterhin präsenten Kammermusikprojekten vor allem Orchesterkonzerte veranstaltet werden.
Das damalige Gründungsmotto musica inaudita prägt auch heute noch das künstlerische Selbstverständnis des Orchesters: Seine Programme präsentieren sich ungehört, teilweise gar unerhört und ungehörig. Es werden Stücke aufgeführt, die trotz hoher kompositorischer Qualität nur sehr selten im Konzertsaal zu hören sind. Aber auch die Hauptwerke der Barockliteratur sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Orchesterarbeit. Allerdings werden sie in einer Programmdramaturgie präsentiert, welche diese Meisterwerke in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lässt, sei es durch die Zusammenstellung der Werke unter einem thematischen Motto, durch die Kombination mit Texten oder in Verbindung mit Neuer Musik. Gespielt wird dabei auf historischen Instrumenten, wie sie der Komponist gekannt hat und für deren klangliche Eigenschaften er seine Musik konzipiert hat.
So holt das ZÜRCHER BAROCKORCHESTER die sogenannt Alte Musik aufgrund aktueller musikwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse in ihrer Entstehungszeit ab, präsentiert sie aber dem Publikum in einer Weise, welche die Musik zeitlos und erfrischend neu erscheinen lässt.

The Wiener Symphoniker handle the lion’s share of symphonic activity that makes up the musical life of the Austrian capital. The preservation of the traditional, Viennese orchestral sound occupies a central place in the orchestra’s various artistic pursuits. The end of the 19th century was precisely the right time to establish a new Viennese orchestra for the purpose of presenting orchestral concerts with broad appeal, on the one hand, and to meet the need for fi rst performances and premieres of contemporary works, on the other. In October 1900, the newly formed Wiener Concertverein, as it was called back then, gave its first public performance at the Vienna Musikverein with Ferdinand Löwe on the podium. The Wiener Symphoniker has premiered works that are now undisputed staples of the orchestral repertoire, including Anton Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony, Arnold Schönberg’s Gurre-Lieder, Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, and Franz Schmidt’s The Book with Seven Seals. Over the course of its history, conducting greats like Bruno Walter, Richard Strauss, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Oswald Kabasta, George Szell and Hans Knappertsbusch have left an indelible mark on the orchestra. In later decades, Herbert von Karajan (1950–1960) and Wolfgang Sawallisch (1960 –1970) were the Chief Conductors who moulded the sound of the orchestra most signify cantly. After the brief return of Josef Krips, the position of Chief Conductor was filled by Carlo Maria Giulini and Gennadij Roshdestvensky. Georges Prêtre was Chief Conductor from 1986 to 1991. Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos and Vladimir Fedoseyev then assumed leadership of the orchestra. Fabio Luisi accepted the position of Chief Conductor and Artistic Director at the start of the 2005– 06 season, his successor in 2014–15 will be Philippe Jordan. Leading lights who have enjoyed notable success as guests on the podium of the Wiener Symphoniker include Leonard Bernstein, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Claudio Abbado and Sergiu Celibidache. The Wiener Symphoniker appears in more than 150 concerts and operatic performances per season, the vast majority of which take place in Vienna’s well-known concert venues, the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus. Since 1946, the Wiener Symphoniker has been the orchestra in residence at the Bregenzer Festspiele, where it also plays the majority of operatic and symphonic performances. The orchestra also took on a new challenge at the beginning of 2006: That’s when the Theater an der Wien became a functioning opera house again, and the orchestra has been responsible for a signficant number of productions ever since.
