Dvorak Cello Works

It is the part the cello must interpret by assuming or acquiring a human nature. Dvořák transforms it into a warm lyrical baritone. He repopulates it with harmonics and nuances. And he shows us that the best way to overcome cello “limitations” is none other than to transcend it. Dvořák turns the cello into a meta-cello. Just as in a Mephistophelian pact, he achieves the feat of “animating” it. And the soul is in the score. You have to know how to find it. No one better to do it than Adolfo Gutiérrez Arenas, from his sensitivity, spontaneity and affinity to an instrument he would never have wanted to explore if Bach and Dvořák had not persuaded him otherwise. Rather than Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Dvořák’s Op. 104 should be called Concerto for Orchestra and Cello. And not because the solo instrument does not shine, but because the bohemian composer subordinates the star onanism to the requirement of concertation. It is not even a concerto for orchestra. It is a concerto with orchestra. Dvořák requires musicians to listen and listen to each other, not only from a chamber music perspective, but also applying reciprocal chromatic and rhythmic attention. It is about exploring textures and dynamics.

Adolfo Gutierrez Arenas

Adolfo Gutierréz Arenas was born in Munich of Spanish parents, where he first studied piano. At the age of 14, he began playing the cello; he graduated from the Reina Sofia School of Music and participated in master courses with cellists as János Starker and Ralph Kirshbaum. He received decisive impulses from Bernard Greenhouse, cellist of the legendary Beaux-Art-Trios and from Gary Hoffman. In 2002, he was awarded the Maurice Ravel prize of the Ravel Academy in Ciboure as soloist and chamber musician and began his international career. In 2010, Adolfo Gutierréz Arenas gave his debut with the London Symphony Orchestra at the prestigious concert series Ibermúsica in Madrid. Further engagements followed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Charles Dutoit and the Orquesta Nacional de Espana under Ton Koopman. He also performed with the London Philharmonic under Vladimir Jurowski and again with the Orquesta Nacional de Espana under Krzysztof Penderecki. He is a regular guest of all major Spanish orchestras. Invitations to North and South America led him to orchestras like the Fort Worth Symphony under Miguel Harth-Bedoya, the Sarasota Symphony under Anu Tali and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Colombia.

Magdeburgische Philharmonie

The Magdeburgische Philharmonie is the opera and concert orchestra for the city in which Georg Philipp Telemann was born. Officially, the history of the orchestra starts in 1897, when the Magdeburger Theaterorchester was incorporated into municipal services. Even before this, though, an orchestra was driving the traditional musical life of the city on the River Elbe. Over the years, premières and first nights have included Richard Wagner’s Das Liebesverbot in 1836, Albert Lortzing’s Undine in 1845, Kurt Weill’s Der Silbersee in 1933, Berthold Goldschmidt’s Beatrice Cenci in 1994 and Violeta Dinescu’s ballet Effi Briest in 1998. Throughout its history, the orchestra has collaborated with numerous leading conductors, including Richard Strauss, Hermann Abendroth, Bruno Walter and Hans Pfitzner. To this day, keeping alive works by Wagner and Strauss accounts for a broad swathe of the repertoire. General Musical Directors such as Fritz Kauffmann, Theodor Winkelmann, Josef Krug-Waldsee, Josef Göllrich, Walter Rabl, Walter Beck, Erich Böhlke, Ferdinand Drost, Gottfried Schwiers, Roland Wambeck, Mathias Husmann, Christian Ehwald, Gerd Schaller and Francesco Corti have defined the artistic profile of the orchestra. Kimbo Ishii from Taiwan has been the General Musical Director of the Magdeburgische Philharmonie since the 2010/2011 season.
