  • Alan Gilbert and Wenzel Fuchs with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto

    Alan Gilbert and Wenzel Fuchs with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto

    Mozart was a great fan of the then still new clarinet. He composed a splendid concerto, his last work in that genre, for this instrument, whose tone closely resembles the sound of the human voice. The performers in this concert are Alan Gilbert and the Berliner Philharmoniker’s principal clarinet Wenzel Fuchs. The programme also includes Thomas Ades’s highly original Three Studies from Couperin and Debussy’s shimmering Images pour orchestra.

    The venue for this European Concert is an architectural gem: the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth, one of the few remaining original Baroque theatres, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012. Joining the orchestra is Paavo Järvi, who has earned a reputation as one of the most interesting conductors of our time, particularly as artistic director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.

    Paavo Järvi and Lisa Batiashvili with Sibelius’s Violin Concerto

    “The first notes of Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto rarely shine simultaneously as clearly and as focused as with Lisa Batiashvili,” was what Bayerischer Rundfunk said in its review. The Georgian violinist, who in these concerts stands in for the indisposed Janine Jansen, presents the darkly timbred work, whose free, rhapsodic form requires most creative of skills. Paavo Järvi also conducts Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony, which reflects the horrors of the Stalin era with brooding resignation and grotesque savagery.

    Tugan Sokhiev conducts “Pictures at an Exhibition”

    Tugan Sokhiev, chief conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre, conducts two of the most popular works of the Russian repertoire at this concert, which opens with Prokofiev’s ardent Symphony No. 1, inspired by the First Viennese School. In contrast, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition depicts Russian scenes and legends with incomparable atmospheric and musical intensity. The soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 is Yefim Bronfman.

    Simon Rattle conducts Schumann’s “Paradise and the Peri”

    Incredibly successful in its time but largely forgotten today, Robert Schumann’s Paradise and the Peri was described by the composer as an “oratorio for cheerful people”. For many years, Simon Rattle has championed this both lyrical and innovative work, which he says has given him an entirely new perspective on Schumann. Following a first performance in 2009, he conducts it again with an ensemble of outstanding soloists.

  • Simon Rattle conducts the completed Ninth Symphony by Anton Bruckner

    Simon Rattle conducts the completed Ninth Symphony by Anton Bruckner

    Simon Rattle is certain that if Anton Bruckner had lived only two months longer, he would have been able to complete the finale of his Ninth Symphony. In a sensational concert in 2011, Rattle presented a reconstruction of “monolithic, threatening presence” (Gramophone magazine), based on Bruckner’s extensive sketches. As a central work of the Rattle era, the completed symphony can now be heard again.

    Simon Rattle conducts Brahms, Lutosławski and Widmann

    This concert is almost a condensed retrospective of the Rattle era. For example, Sir Simon’s enthusiasm for contemporary music is revealed in the premiere of a short work by Jörg Widmann; in Lutosławski’s Third Symphony, on the other hand, he once again shows what imaginative music the 20th century has left behind, and finally, Rattle’s continuous work on the great classics of the repertoire is represented by Brahms’s First Symphony.

  • Simon Rattle’s farewell to the Berlin Philharmonie

    Simon Rattle’s farewell to the Berlin Philharmonie

    On 14 November 1987, a promising conductor made his Berliner Philharmoniker debut with Gustav Mahler’s Sixth Symphony: Simon Rattle. In retrospect Rattle says, “I felt that I was finding my voice on that day.” Mahler’s multifaceted work is now again on the programme when Sir Simon appears for the last time as chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker in the Philharmonie. The wheel comes full circle.

    An era is about to come to an end for the Berliner Philharmoniker. With this concert at the Waldbühne, Sir Simon Rattle’s tenure as chief conductor of the orchestra ends after 16 years. It is a colourful, sparkling farewell – with works by Gershwin, Fauré, Khachaturian and Respighi. The star guest is Sir Simon’s wife, mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, who sings excerpts from Joseph Canteloube’s charming Chants d’Auvergne.
