Kirill Petrenko and Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Hartmann and Stravinsky

Few works have captured the horror of the Nazi regime as powerfully in music as Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Concerto funebre. The soloist in this performance with Kirill Petrenko is Artist in Residence Patricia Kopatchinskaja. The concert closes with the striking ballet music from The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky. The two composers, who admired each other, both strived towards uncompromisingly modern yet moving music.
