A family concert for children aged five and up, presented by the Berliner Lautsprecherorchester, aims to make new music easily understood.
The Berliner Lautsprecherorchester, a unique orchestra, uses loudspeakers as instruments. They create music with sounds from everyday life, resulting in an unconventional and captivating sound experience.
While composing his Ninth Symphony, Gustav Mahler declared, "I am thirstier for life than ever." The Berlin Philharmonic, under Kirill Petrenko, explores this tension-filled work. Despite moments of defiance, rawness, and humor, the grand apotheotic breakthroughs of earlier symphonies fade. The sound becomes increasingly gentle, transparent, and finally dissolves into peaceful acceptance.
Kirill Petrenko, chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic since 2019/20, directs Mahler's 9th Symphony in Essen. Born in Omsk, Petrenko strives for a unique orchestral sound, evident in his interpretation of Mahler's final completed work, a magical piece bridging Romantic and modern eras.
When Igor Levit takes his seat at the keyboard, one thing is for sure: you’ll hear the pieces on the programme as never before. The German-Russian pianist makes his very own mark, often as unexpected as it is brilliant, on every work he plays, whisking even veteran repertoire warhorses into the here and now. In this concert Levit is accompanied by the Berliner Barock Solisten in music by two composers who can be described without exaggeration as pinnacles of music history: Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The most famous of the Bach sons made a no less illustrious career for himself than his father, and was admired by fellow composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn. In this cleverly thought-out programme, Levit and the Berlin ensemble create a father-son dialogue along entirely modern lines.
Three generations of the Bach family are featured in a concert with Albrecht Mayer and the Berliner Barock Solisten. Festive Baroque music in historically informed performance practice meets the warm sound of Mayer's oboe. The program spans from Johann Sebastian Bach's great-uncle, Johann Christoph, to his sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann, framed by works of Johann Sebastian himself.
