Beschreibung

Das Projekt 'Auschwitz - Ultima Ratio of the Modern Age' ist eine fotografische Untersuchung der Zusammenhänge zwischen der Moderne und dem Holocaust. Die visuelle Analyse erfolgt dabei anhand der Architektur und Infrastruktur des größten Vernichtungslagers im Dritten Reich: Auschwitz-Birkenau. Lewandowskis Fotografien zeigen Gebäudetypen sowie Vorrichtungen, deren Funktion in der massenhaften Tötung von Menschen bestand. Um diesem Zweck gerecht zu werden, bedienten sich die Planer und Exekutoren des nationalsozialistischen Verbrechens rationalistischer Mittel, denen die Grundprinzipien der Moderne zugrunde lagen. Diese Prinzipien sollten ursprünglich der Mehrwertschöpfung dienen, die auch als Verbesserung der Lebenszustände des Menschen verstanden wurde. Der Holocaust hat die Ambivalenz der Methoden der Moderne offenbart. 807280806199Langtext"What a pleasure to listen to Demetrio e Polibio", wrote major Italian daily "La Stampa" after the premiere of Rossini's very first opera at the 2010 Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, attributing it "an undeniable fascination". The work was given its first performance in Rome in 1812. It is still unclear whether Rossini was 14 or 18 when he wrote it; what is beyond doubt, however, is the anticipation of great things to come. The libretto is a far-fetched tale of feuding kings, mistaken identities, disguises and cruel fates typical of the late 18th-century opera seria. Young stage director Davide Livermore, heading a production of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, turns the libretto into a ghost story, setting the action behind the stage of an opera house, when everyone has left and all that remains are the spirits of an opera that yearns for the breath of life - much like the practically forgotten "Demetrio e Polibio" itself. With the help of little flames that flare up from the singers' palms and other "phantasmagorical" tricks, Livermore creates an enchanting atmosphere that is given a perfect musical rendering by conductor Corrado Rovaris (Music Director of the Opera Company of Philadelphia) and the Orchestra Sinfonica Rossini. Each giving outstanding performances are the four stand-out soloists Maria José Moreno, Victoria Zaytseva, Yijie Shi and Mirco Palazzi, "stars. of the highest international order" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Once again, the Rossini Opera Festival fulfills its dual goal of performing unknown Rossini works in new, critical editions, and of fostering young singers on their path towards the world's great stages. 807280806991LangtextWith its majestic themes soaring upwards like gothic pillars and its brilliant chorales and fanfares glowing like stained - glass windows, Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 is the most monumental of his orchestral works, a cathedral in sound that grows out of pianissimo murmurs. Coming after the triumphs celebrated by the composer's Seventh Symphony and Te Deum, the Eight was considered by Bruckner as the artistic climax of his career. Cleveland's Severance Hall is the venue for this performance. This hall, an eclectic yet elegant mix of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Classicism, Egyptian Revival and Modernism was inaugurated in 1931 and is still hailed today as one of the world's most beautiful concert halls. The Cleveland Orchestra, founded in 1918, began its ascent to the upper ranks of the world's ensembles after it moved to Severance Hall in 1931.
