Sanderling and Hadelich

Date & Time
Fri, Jun 13, 2025, 19:30
Benjamin Britten anticipated that the Second World War would break out soon. He couldn't stay in England and boarded a ship to Canada. One can hear in his music how unbearable this must have been for him as a committed pacifist. During the voyage, he composed his Violin Concerto in D minor, which will be performed by Augustin Hadelich in our concert. Dmitri Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony also reflects this war, although composed on the other side, in Stalin's Soviet Union.... Read full text

Sanderling and Hadelich

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. 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.

Benjamin Britten sensed that the Second World War would break out soon. He couldn't stay in England, so he sailed to Canada. The unbearable weight of this decision for him, as a devout pacifist, can be heard in his music. During the crossing, he composed his Violin Concerto in D minor, which will be performed by Augustin Hadelich in our concert. Dmitri Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony also reflects the theme of 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, but it also couldn't be entirely tragic. The result is a work that mirrors these contradictions. Michael Sanderling is considered one of the leading Shostakovich experts among today's conductors. As a child, he personally experienced the close friendship his father had with the composer.

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.
