Ticciati & Ridout

Date & Time
Sun, Dec 15, 2024, 20:00
December 1804. Furious, Beethoven scratches out the »intitolata Bonaparte« dedication on the title page of his new Third Symphony. Napoleon, who he had idealised, has truly declared himself Emperor! That does not suit the composer’s ideal of freedom. Instead, he dedicates the work, which he now calls ›Eroica‹, to a prince. That may not sound quite logical, but whatever. The music is bombastic. »Heaven and earth must shake at its performance!« a student of Beethoven’s wrote. Which holds true until this day.

Ticciati & Capuçon

Sun, Oct 13, 2024, 20:00
Robin Ticciati (Conductor), Gautier Capuçon (Cello), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
Bruckner was not only a fantastic organist—some of his habits were also quite strange. He loved to count: rocks, leaves on trees, beads, windows on house fronts ... But his symphonies were a different thing: though he composed eleven, he acknowledged only nine of them. And even with those, he was not initially successful; the Seventh from 1884 was the first to take off. Robin Ticciati has conducted many of them, and has continued to programme them since his DSO debut with the Fourth. For Ticciati, Bruckner is a »real person with a beating heart«.

Ticciati & Frang

Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Robin Ticciati (Conductor), Vilde Frang (Violin), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
She resembles a Nordic pixie: fresh-faced, fair complexion, flaxen hair, dark eyes. For good measure, the Norwegian violinist answers to the name Vilde, derived from »alfr« (elf) and »hildr«(battle). And in fact she’ll have both within her when she tackles Elgar’s Violin Concerto. After all, the work is neither for the faint-hearted nor for those afraid of heights. Extremely high notes, gruelling arabesques and arpeggios … a sensational experience in the Berliner Philharmonie.

Farewell Robin Ticciati

Sat, Nov 16, 2024, 20:00
Robin Ticciati (Conductor), Joélle Harvey (Soprano), Karen Cargill (Mezzo-Soprano), Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Gerhard Polifka (Chorus Master), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
»Noise, scandal, mischief, subversion!« the press railed in 1895 about the Berlin premiere of Gustav Mahler’s Second Symphony. Some 120 years later, the original score of the ›Resurrection Symphony‹ sold at auction at Sotheby’s for EUR 5.3 million. Back then, it was conducted in Berlin by the composer himself. Now Robin Ticciati will bid his adieu as DSO Music Director with this revolutionary work, which surpasses all the usual dimensions and today is one of Mahler’s most popular symphonies.
