Beethoven’s dramatic and heroic Egmont Overture is well-known and much loved. However, very few listeners know the extensive incidental music that Beethoven also wrote Goethe’s drama Egmont.

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Gustavo Dudamel (Conductor)

In our new series Ausklang, you can experience the Berliner Philharmoniker in a condensed form. A single major work is featured, followed by a relaxed get-together in the foyer, including a free drink. This time the conductor is Gustavo Dudamel, famous for his dynamism and charisma. We will hear Peter Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony - music that is full of longing, warmth and radiance, just as it tells of man’s rebellion against his fate. This is a battle fraught with drama, interrupted by an airy waltz in the third movement.

Gustavo Dudamel | Schumann

Fri, Oct 23, 2020, 18:00

Philharmonie im Gasteig (München)

Gustavo Dudamel (Conductor), Bavarian Radio Chorus, Andrew Lepri Meyer (Tenor), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Once again Gustavo Dudamel will be a guest of the BRSO! Now this principal conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic has dreamt up something special for his five short concerts: a Schumann cycle, something never heard before in such concentration at the BRSO. It’s a musical portrait of a genius who was only inspired to write his own symphonies after stumbling upon Schubert’s Great C-major Symphony. The series features the Spring Symphony in B-flat major, the Second in C major, the Rhenish in E-flat major and the Fourth in D minor. Rounding off the Schumann feast are a cappella choral works by José Antonio Abreu, Antonio Estévez and Modesta Bor. The three poignant miniatures, including a love song after Pablo Neruda, shed revealing light on the soul of Latin America and send a musical greeting from Dudamel to his native Venezuela.

Gustavo Dudamel conducts Mahler’s Sixth

Sat, Jun 15, 2024, 19:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Gustavo Dudamel (Conductor)

“The Sixth is his most personal work, and a prophetic one at that” – said Gustav Mahler’s wife Alma. And in fact, with its apocalyptic tonal language, which is only occasionally lightened, the symphony seems to anticipate Mahler’s great personal catastrophes: the diagnosis of a heart condition, the death of his daughter, and professional failures. It is music that looks into the abyss. Gustavo Dudamel, one of the world’s most popular conductors, directs this performance. He has already performed Mahler symphonies on several occasions with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
