Andris Nelsons conducts Wagner and Bruckner
Ever since he appeared at the Bayreuth Festival, Andris Nelsons has been considered one of the outstanding interpreters of Richard Wagner. In this concert, he presents the prelude and the Karfreitagszauber from Parsifal to the Berliner Philharmoniker audience. This is followed by Anton Bruckner’s Third Symphony, dedicated to Wagner “with the most profound respect”, in which Bruckner’s individual sound, inspired by the organ, unfolds its full potential for the first time.
