Andris Nelsons and Guy Braunstein with works by Brahms and Strauss

Andris Nelsons and Guy Braunstein with works by Brahms and Strauss
It was Hans von Bülow who said that Johannes Brahms’s Violin Concerto is a “concerto against the violin” – simply because the soloist is given little opportunity for virtuoso showmanship. In this concert, the Berliner Philharmoniker, soloist Guy Braunstein and conductor Andris Nelsons set about to uncover the evident as well as the hidden charms of the work.

Daniel Barenboim conducts Elgar’s “The Dream of Gerontius”

While Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius enjoys nearly the same esteem as Handel’s Messiah and Mendelssohn’s Elijah in his native England, almost every performance abroad is seen as a rediscovery. And it is to such that the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Daniel Barenboim invite you with this concert.

Recommendation of the week

Simon Rattle conducts Schumann’s “Paradise and the Peri”

With this work, Robert Schumann wanted to create a new genre, somewhere between oratorio and opera – but in all likelihood, it is precisely this ambiguity that means Paradise and the Peri is performed relatively rarely in the concert hall. However, in this concert, Sir Simon Rattle, the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Rundfunkchor Berlin and an ensemble of excellent soloists show just what profound inspiration and wonderful music is to be discovered here.
