Interview
Gidon Kremer in conversation with Walter Küssner Christian Thielemann and Gidon Kremer
After almost a decade, Gidon Kremer returned to the Berliner Philharmoniker with this concert from 2016. The programme included Sofia Gubaidulina’s violin concerto In tempus praesens, in which a spiritual and filigree solo part meets a powerful orchestral sound. Conductor and Bruckner specialist Christian Thielemann also presented the composer’s Mass in F minor, a monumental work clearly inspired by Beethoven’s Missa solemnis.
