Sanderling and Hadelich

Date & Time

Benjamin Britten sensed that the Second World War would soon break out. He couldn't bear to stay in England, so he boarded a ship to Canada. The weight of this decision for him, as a committed pacifist, can be heard in his music. Even during the crossing, he worked on his Violin Concerto in D minor, which will be performed by Augustin Hadelich in our concert.

The weight of this decision for him, as a committed pacifist, can be heard in his music. Even during the crossing, he worked on his Violin Concerto in D minor, which will be performed by Augustin Hadelich in our concert. Dmitri Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony also bears the mark of this war, albeit composed on the other side, in Stalin's Soviet Union. For Shostakovich, it was a balancing act: he did not want to write optimistic music, yet it could not be purely tragic. The result is a work that reflects these contradictions. Michael Sanderling is considered one of the leading Shostakovich experts among conductors of our time. He experienced the close friendship between his father and the composer firsthand as a child.

Marek Janowski and Augustin Hadelich

Sat, Oct 12, 2024, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Marek Janowski (Conductor), Augustin Hadelich (Violin)
In Anton Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony, the Berliner Philharmoniker can explore the full spectrum of music-making, from intimacy in chamber music passages to its characteristically powerful tutti sound. Like Bruckner’s work, Mendelssohn’s violin concerto also emerged from the Romantic period – yet it inhabits a completely different sound world, filled with light and radiance. Conductor Marek Janowski is particularly highly regarded for his work in this repertoire. Augustin Hadelich, celebrated for his wonderfully lyrical sound at his debut three years ago, returns to the Berliner Philharmoniker as soloist.
