He was glad when the day is over, the baton of Christian Thielemann. Nevertheless, he gives an Interview to 60. Birthday this games by the way, in the midst of the quarrels of the feast of Easter.
Dresden/ Salzburg - for the First time he has directed this year, the Vienna new year's concert, just as he makes preparations for his beloved "die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" at the Salzburg Easter festival, in Bayreuth, he belongs to the inventory – you might think Christian Thielemann so smooth, if the Star-conductor says: "60 is the nicest age." His big birthday, he's celebrating today. And yet everything is not all joy: There are forces who want to oust the Berlin from Salzburg (see below).
their record company brought out a large Box with their shots, the 60. Birthday is a quasi-borne offensive to the outside. Is not the ungallant a bit?
Thielemann: I'm standing! It is always a spiritual Freshness and maturity, I don't want to be younger. I think that's a really good age.
Mariss Jansons says that the gold conductor years would be 60.
Thielemann: you're probably right. I believe in many things, to be something closer to solutions tuned because I have more experience. You will also be relaxed. You bite in, you just can't change at the Moment. Some can accept, this property comes with time. Whether in the sample or in life. Maybe a fluttering and then a solution.
With the "Meistersinger" have you debuted in Bayreuth. It is a kind of Fate...
Thielemann: ...and I get to my Post as General music Director in Nuremberg seems to be for you. With only two samples, I conducted the Opera at the time and no idea had how the could arrive. It must have been decent, I was taken. In Bayreuth the delivery similar to happy, where I was allowed to take on Daniel Barenboim's conducting of Wolfgang Wagner's staging. With the "Meistersinger" connects me with a very positive history.
you Can listen to your previous recordings?
Thielemann: , part of the. Sometimes I notice out of tune, then the interpretive intention, and I am. Or I find that earlier quite a few good ideas. And sometimes, when I hear, for example in the car Radio, I will not know of me here in the first place. What I have noticed: I have become over the years, faster and faster. Someone told me a long time ago: "You're in a Slow importance, you'll be faster." And so it happened. I used to charge everything too much and want too much to enforce.
you have also become smaller in the conductor's movements.
Thielemann: is Bayreuth. A conductor of school, the first category is the. Even so, because it is insanely warm, and the pieces are very long, you have to think of the condition. And I'm not in a ditch cramped by the shirt and tailcoat. You are sitting in baggy clothing in front of the orchestra. All of this leads to the fact that it is very useful in the body language. Also, because the audience does not see. I thought earlier that I will be conducting for the audience. And then you have it constantly in the back of the head during performances. In Bayreuth this component.
Before your last birthday, you were in the middle of squabbles with the Munich Philharmonic, which led to her departure. What have you learned from these incidents?
Thielemann: You know, in the meantime, to join forces better. I am excited about the things that happened in the past ten years, this is where I find. And I think, in the Repertoire that I still can listen. I have learned how changeable life can be. And how the things I produce are not intended, sometimes unpleasant consequences, or be misunderstood. I never had negative intentions. You will be more careful. From the age of the Grollens I am. I am at most myself when I say to myself: "What have you been stupid."
What are you doing for your 60. Birthday?
Thielemann: I am the day before, invited, also, to centre and to celebrate. On the actual birthday, I'm not simply exist, because the family booked. And I am looking forward to the 2. April, on the samples for the "Meistersinger". In addition, you should not make birthdays a big thing. In our family, never were the great screamer. My God, man has been born at the relevant date, because the parents wanted to nine months in advance. This, however, could be any other day to happen. If I'm honest, Hopefully the day is soon, and we go to the agenda.
Still is not clear whether they will work together with Nikolaus Bachler as the future artistic Director of the Easter festival. To be announced until the beginning of the festival, as it is there more to go?
Thielemann: I can't say anything because I know nothing. Non so nulla.
and Then sucks it, then, that the artistic curves is culture political?
Thielemann: this is Also an age thing: It sucks less and less. I am angry not so much, I've seen it all before. There's no world collapses for me. I can only say: The Staatskapelle Dresden has found a fixed an admirable way in the Salzburg Easter festival. We are stepping in a quasi -, as the Berlin Philharmonic went to Baden-Baden. For us, it was called at the time "the bird eat or die". And it was a great success. We hang on to Salzburg. Also because we were there so wonderful.

Salzburg Easter festival: Bachler as Thielemann-displacement?
It seems, as in the case of the Salzburg Easter festival just played Mikado. Who moves first, whether the artistic Director, Christian Thielemann or the future Intendant, Nikolaus Bachler, has lost. As a "strong Duo" thinking of decision-makers the two. But as we know, Thielemann, let that show through the carved mail, know this: only without the Bachler. That Bachler, 2021, Intendant of the Bavarian state Opera, starting in 2020, the commercial Director at the Easter festival and, starting in 2022, the artistic Director. A kind of discharge lounge with a Mini-Festival with glamourösestem claim.
there are Two ways: If it is marriage, not love, then Bachler and Thielemann for business cooperation. Or Thielemann quits and moves in with the Staatskapelle Dresden, to parallel the Baden-Baden Festival. Who do you even ask insiders, always one hears the same story: Bachler had been enthroned, to the Berlin Philharmonic with its then new chief Kirill Petrenko get to return to Salzburg. A solid game with marked cards in a harmonious at the Bavarian state Opera with music Director Petrenko and white, see Kent Nagano, and how you can get rid of a conductor.
Anyway, Petrenko a genuine sense of the Opera is man, that the members of the orchestra establishment of orchestra of the Salzburg Easter festival, so it would be a homecoming. By 2022, your contract in Baden-Baden. And from there, you can hear that it would be a deduction of Berlin don't be sad: The orchestra have such is lucrative conditions, the Baden-Baden on the medium-term, bleeding. Up to the possible break Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden have lashed your Salzburg premieres anyway. Heuer is on 13. April Premiere of Wagner's "die Meistersinger", in 2020, there will be Verdi's "Don Carlo" and in 2021 is probably a "Turandot" with Anna Netrebko. the th
