Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker: The beginning of a partnership

Kirill Petrenko describes this edition as “a musical snapshot of the early days of my collaboration with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the spark that ignited our partnership, so to speak”. Featuring symphonies by Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky and Ludwig van Beethoven, it offers a glimpse into the musical roots of both the chief conductor and the orchestra. Two striking discoveries from the 20th century by Rudi Stephan and Franz Schmidt complete this first joint release.
