Kirill Petrenko conducts Smetana’s “Má vlast”

Date & Time

Wed, May 8, 2024, 20:00

Venue

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

With his cycle Má vlast, Bedřich Smetana created a musical declaration of love for his Czech homeland – its landscape, its history, its legends. Kirill Petrenko presents the six symphonic poems of the cycle, each of which takes us into very different Romantic sound worlds – sometimes majestic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes lyrical, but always full of Bohemian musical elan. The best-known work from it is undoubtedly The Moldau, a lively, folkloric tone poem that portrays the river of the same name.

Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner and Rihm

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)

Anton Bruckner’s symphonies have often been described as cathedrals of sound. And they really do combine a powerful architecture of sound with soaring climaxes and visions of the transcendent. This also applies to the Fifth Symphony, which Bruckner called his “contrapuntal masterpiece” because of its ingenious compositional technique. Kirill Petrenko combines it with a work that also has a connection to sacred architecture: Wolfgang Rihm’s IN-SCHRIFT, whose dark, powerfully-sculpted sounds are inspired by St Mark’s Basilica in Venice.
