Mrs Brown claims Beethoven dictated new music to her from beyond the grave.

The BBC makes a serious documentary.

Beethoven corrects her mistakes.

And people say classical music has an image problem.

Stuttgarter Zeitung, 15.2.2026

“Seit 2016 leitet Hope das Zürcher Kammerorchester, das er in dieser Zeit zu einem der besten Ensembles seiner Art geformt hat. Ähnlich wie die Festival Strings Lucerne, die erst vor kurzem in der Reihe Faszination Klassik gastierten, bestechen auch die Zürcher durch ihre Homogenität und technische Brillanz.

Die ermöglicht extreme Wirkungen: Furios, wie in der „Air de Furies“ aus Christoph Willibald Glucks Oper „Orphée et Eurydice“ die motivischen Blitze in perfektem Unisono herunterfahren und einen veritablen Orkan auslösen.

Doch das Orchester kann auch anders: im ersten Werk des Abends, Mozarts Sinfonie D-Dur KV 196, einem verblüffend genialen Werk des 18-Jährigen, zeigten die Zürcher ein dynamisches Spektrum, das vor allem auf einer ausgefeilten Kultur der leisen Töne beruht: ein derart ausbalanciertes Pianissimo ohne tonale Brüche ist auch von Toporchestern selten zu hören.

Mit Mozarts erstem Violinkonzert B-Dur KV 207 ging es nach der Pause weiter im gut besetzten Beethovensaal. Auch hier bewies Hope seine geigerischen Qualitäten eindrucksvoll: sein schlanker, fein gewirkter Ton, seine bewusst als Ausdrucksmittel eingesetzten Vibrati – eine Qualität, die auch das Orchester auszeichnet – und sein immer frei wirkendes, von Fantasie und Spontaneität getragenes Spiel.”

Excited to head out on a major German tour again this February together with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. At the heart of the tour is our passionate, highly virtuosic programme “Mozart: Passion” – featuring Haydn’s incomparable “La Passione” Symphony alongside works by Mozart and Chevalier de Bologne.

At the same time, we’re looking forward to two very special evenings: on 12 February in Freiburg and 13 February in Mannheim, we’ll be bringing our programme “America!” to the stage, with music by Gershwin, Bernstein, Kurt Weill and Florence Price.

Returning to familiar places is always special – as are the encounters with our wonderful audiences.

See you on the road!

Experiencing Jacob Collier alone on stage tonight at Schloss Elmau was very special. The sheer magnitude of his harmonic imagination, the freedom with which he glides between worlds and instruments, and perhaps most strikingly, his completely natural rapport with the audience felt less like a performance and more like a shared act of discovery. Nothing forced or calculated — just curiosity, joy, and an open invitation to listen differently. Pure music. @SchlossElmau1 @jacobcollier

Wishing you all a very happy New Year.
In a world with plenty of challenges, may 2026 bring moments of peace, connection and empathy. And lot’s of music…
