This season, Martha Argerich will be the soloist in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, a work which exudes a youthful vigour.

Did you know?

  • The conductor Barenboim and the soloist Argerich are both pianists from Argentina, with a track record of outstanding contribution to classical music.
  • Beethoven's first piano concerto was the piece at which, when Furtwängler discovered Barenboim as a young talent in a summer music school, invited him to collaborate with Berliner Philharmonie. This did not realize considering post war situation.
  • Brahms' Symphony No. 4 is the last Symphony he wrote. He composed it right after finishing his 3rd Symphony. A best-seller album by progressive rock band Yes, "Fragile", includes an excerpt from the 3rd movement.

Daniel Barenboim conducts Mahler

Sat, May 10, 2025, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Daniel Barenboim (Conductor), Dorottya Láng (Mezzo-Soprano), Benjamin Bruns (Tenor)
Throughout the 60-year span of his collaboration with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Daniel Barenboim has never conducted the music of Gustav Mahler. Until now. Two late works can be heard, beginning with the expressive Adagio from the unfinished Tenth Symphony. Painful melancholy prevails here, as it does in Das Lied von der Erde (Songs of the Earth), which looks back on the lost beauty of life. Formally located between a song cycle and a symphony, this work was, according to Mahler, “probably the most personal thing I have done so far”.

Christoph Eschenbach conducts Beethoven and Brahms

Fri, Jun 21, 2024, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Christoph Eschenbach (Conductor), María Dueñas (Violin)
In this concert, our honorary conductor guides us through a programme that brings to mind Goethe: »A thousand and a thousand thoughts rise and sink within me. My soul is like an everlasting firework without rest.« Beethoven could certainly have said the same thing about his hot-tempered disposition and extreme mood swings. His violin concerto was composed in 1806 – but he wrote down his many ideas for it so late that the premiere violinist had to play this rather difficult piece almost from sight. It is characterised by a spirit that is certainly reminiscent of the proverb that nowadays goes by the motto »Himmelhoch jauchzend, zu Tode betrübt« (»rejoicing to the skies, saddened to death«). A masterpiece from the history of music, for which we welcome as soloist María Dueñas, an »Andalusian violin miracle«: it is said of the young virtuoso that she elicits »a soulful and at times a fiery sound« from her instrument. Beethoven‘s groundbreaking compositions were both a curse and a blessing for the following generations – including Brahms, who confided to a friend: »You have no idea how it makes all of us feel to hear such a giant marching behind you all the time.« But on the other hand, Beethoven was also seen as his great role model. Nevertheless, it took Brahms a very long time to complete his first symphony: he spent 14 years crafting it, with interruptions from 1862 to 1876. And then, after this fierce symphonic struggle, there was finally lots of balm for his soul: Hans von Bülow was so enthusiastic about the First that he exuberantly described it as »Beethoven‘s Tenth«. The work is a stroke of genius: from the fateful conflict in the opening to the emotional triumph in the final movement – and all in all an enchanting journey of discovery with many interwoven insights.

Brighton
Adam Hickox (Conductor), Hyeyoon Park (Violin)
True romance: for the composers of the Romantic era, music was about gazing into the human soul and transforming raw passion into timeless beauty.And music doesn’t get much more beautiful than Beethoven’s radiant Violin Concerto: a sunlit, soaring masterpiece in which the soloist almost seems to take flight. There’s certainly nothing earthbound about our soloist – the award-winning Korean violinist Hyeyoon Park has been described as ‘a marvel’. Her performance is the big, warm heart of a concert that opens with Schumann’s swashbuckling overture and ends with Brahms’s last symphony – tragedy, tenderness and defiance, told straight from the heart.
