On 24 May, Alessandro Crudele will make his debut at Hamburg’s prestigious Elbphilharmonie, one of the most iconic architectural landmarks of the city and one of the world’s most acclaimed concert halls. For the occasion, Alessandro will again conduct the Thüringen Philharmonie.

The programme includes pieces by Richard Strauss, Puccini, Mozart, Bellini, Verdi, Mascagni and Massenet and features Alexej Barchevitch (violin), Elena Moșuc (soprano) and Irakli Kakhidze (tenor) as soloists.

Alessandro enjoys a close working relationship with the Thüringen Philharmonie. Ever since he conducted it for the first time in 2018 and was then among the final candidates for the position of Chief Conductor, his concerts with the Thuringian ensemble have always been acclaimed by both the press and the players. In 2019, for example, his interpretation of Brahms’ Fourth was described with these words: “The tranquillity in the second movement of the symphony, the fire in the third, revealed him as a master of his field”. In 2020, the Thüringer Allgemeine newspaper wrote of his Opera Gala: “Was it because of the hall? Was it because of the conductor? The orchestra that we well know sounded differently, as if it had jumped to a higher level”.

Within the rich programme of this concert, Alessandro will conduct Mozart’s last symphony, the No. 41 “Jupiter”. In the past, his Mozart with the Thüringen Philharmonie was also acclaimed by the press: “Alessandro Crudele conjured up a beautiful Mozart with historic reminiscences”.
