Unsuk Chin in conversation with Helge Grünewald Myung-Whun Chung conducts Brahms, Chin and Weber
In May 2014, Myun-Whun Chung made an exciting guest appearance at the Philharmonie. Two core works of the Romantic repertoire – Weber’s dark and foreboding Freischütz overture and Brahms’s sun-lit Second Symphony – framed Unsuk Chin’s stunning and multi-facetted Cello Concerto. The soloist is Alban Gerhardt whose – to quote the composer – “unique artistry” provided the inspiration for this work.
