Kirill Petrenko and Vilde Frang

Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor), Vilde Frang (Violin)

At times melancholic and rugged, at others with a dance-like lightness: Antonín Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony presents a broad spectrum of contrasting moods, infused with the unmistakable colouring of Czech folk music. Kirill Petrenko also conducts Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto with Vilde Frang as the soloist. Exiled from his native Vienna, Korngold brought his lush late romantic harmonic language to Hollywood; in this piece, his film music can be heard again and again. Sergei Rachmaninov’s mystical tone poem The Isle of the Dead takes us into yet another hypnotic sound world.

Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner and Rihm

Sat, Sep 14, 2024, 19:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)

Anton Bruckner’s symphonies have often been described as cathedrals of sound. And they really do combine a powerful architecture of sound with soaring climaxes and visions of the transcendent. This also applies to the Fifth Symphony, which Bruckner called his “contrapuntal masterpiece” because of its ingenious compositional technique. Kirill Petrenko combines it with a work that also has a connection to sacred architecture: Wolfgang Rihm’s IN-SCHRIFT, whose dark, powerfully-sculpted sounds are inspired by St Mark’s Basilica in Venice.

Kirill Petrenko with Rachmaninov’s “Francesca da Rimini”

Sat, Jan 18, 2025, 19:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor), Galina Cheplakova (Soprano), Dmytro Popov (Tenor), Dmitry Golovnin (Tenor), Vladislav Sulimsky (Bariton), Ilia Kazakov (Bass), Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Gijs Leenaars (Chorus Master)

Hatred, jealousy and loss: Sergei Rachmaninov creates a dark world with powerful colours in his one-act opera Francesca da Rimini. Against this backdrop, the heroine’s brief happiness in love shines all the more brightly. Kirill Petrenko presents the impassioned score with acclaimed soloists in a concert performance. Sofia Gubaidulina’s work The Wrath of God is almost apocalyptically dramatic. And here, too, it is about the hatred that – says the composer – “grows in this world with such force and intensity that it inevitably touches me.”
