The Fifth Symphony is a work with which the composer fought for public recognition. In it, he reveals himself to be a gifted musical architect, bringing together voluptuous melodies, solemn chorales and sophisticated contrapuntal structures to create a symphonic monument. Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time.
At times melancholic and rugged, at others with a dance-like lightness: Antonín Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony presents a broad spectrum of contrasting moods, infused with the unmistakable colouring of Czech folk music. Kirill Petrenko also conducts Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. Exiled from his native Vienna, Korngold brought his lush late romantic harmonic language to Hollywood; in this piece, his film music can be heard again and again. Sergei Rachmaninov’s mystical tone poem The Isle of the Dead takes us into yet another hypnotic sound world.

Lucas and Arthur Jussen, two brothers in their mid-twenties from the Netherlands, are known for their magical piano skills and impressive stage presence. They will perform Poulenc's witty and spirited Concerto for Two Pianos in Frankfurt. The concert will also feature Varèse's "Amériques," a loud and impulsive piece inspired by New York City police sirens, showcasing the full potential of a large orchestra and evoking a journey into new worlds.
