Patricia Kopatchinskaja in conversation with Ulrich Knörzer
Birthday concert for Peter Eötvös
He is one of the most important composers of our time: Peter Eötvös, whose 70th birthday was celebrated by the Berliner Philharmoniker in this concert in September 2014. The best birthday present was brought by the guest of honour who also conducted the concert: a new violin concerto, which was acclaimed by the press for its “irresistible charm and dance-like esprit”. The soloist was the Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja.
