Daniel Harding conducts Holst’s “Planets”

Date & Time
Sat, Jan 25, 2025, 19:00
With Gustav Holst’s atmospheric 1916 orchestral suite The Planets, Daniel Harding embarks on a cosmic musical journey through our solar system. Each of the seven planets has its own musical character, from rugged Mars to mystical Neptune. Holst was greatly inspired by Arnold Schoenberg’s Five Orchestral Pieces, which oscillate intriguingly between late Romanticism and Modernism. Completing the programme, Brett Dean’s Komarov’s Fall was commissioned by the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2006 as a musical “asteroid” to Holst’s Planets.

Munich Philharmonic / Renaud Capuçon / Daniel Harding

Wed, Apr 17, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Münchner Philharmoniker, Renaud Capuçon (Violin), Daniel Harding (Conductor)
The Munich Philharmonic enjoys an international reputation, in part because of their Bruckner performances. Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony is known as the »Romantic« symphony, and – with its rapturous horn call – is one of the Austrian composer’s most popular creations. Thierry Escaich’s new violin concerto »Au-delà du rêve« – a commissioned work for the Munich Philharmonic, the Elbphilharmonie and the Philharmonie de Paris – is being performed in Hamburg soon after its premiere. The 59-year-old French composer and organist is one of his homeland’s leading musicians, and he regularly works with leading orchestras and soloists. In Renaud Capuçon, Escaich has found one of the most versatile violinists of his generation as an ideal soloist – one who has mastered a broad repertoire as a soloist and as a chamber musician.

Daniel Harding conducts the Europakonzert in Georgia

Wed, May 1, 2024, 13:00
Amphitheatre Tsinandali (Georgia)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Daniel Harding (Conductor), Lisa Batiashvili (Violin)
“This concert will be the highlight of my life,” says Lisa Batiashvili. In the picturesque setting of the Tsinandali estate, our Artist in Residence performs Brahms’ Violin Concerto under the baton of Daniel Harding. The Berliner Philharmoniker’s concert is something very special, and not just for the Georgian-born artist: this is the first time that a top European orchestra has performed in Georgia, a candidate for EU membership. At the same time, this performance aims to initiate closer co-operation between the country’s rich classical music scene and leading orchestras and cultural institutions in Europe. Last but not least, it is a strong sign of solidarity with the country in the context of the Ukraine conflict.
