Christmas with the Berliner Philharmoniker
The cold winter days and especially the Christmas season have inspired many composers to write contemplative and jubilant works. Our playlist offers music that suits the festive season and will guide you into the new year in a positive mood. While Corelli’s Concerto grosso was written specifically for the occasion, and Tchaikovsky’s enchanting Nutcracker ballet tells a Christmas fairy tale, sacred works such as Bach’s Magnificat and Mozart’s “Exsultate, jubilate” create a wonderfully festive atmosphere.
