NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Anaëlle Tourret / Vasily Petrenko

Sun, Mar 10, 2024, 18:30
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Anaëlle Tourret (Harp), Vasily Petrenko (Conductor)
The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, conducted by Vasily Petrenko, turns its attention to some enduring melodies from the Russian late-Romantic period. The soloist is the harpist Anaëlle Tourret – making it a rare opportunity to experience this enchantingly beautiful instrument in such a prominent role. »One of the finest harpists I have ever heard. She is very special,« is the verdict from the star violinist and Artist in Residence Joshua Bell, about Anaëlle Tourret. In 2018, at the age of just 25, the French musician was appointed as principal harpist of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, and she now performs regularly with renowned ensembles all over the world. High time, then, for her solo debut at the Elbphilharmonie as well. Anaëlle Tourret performs Reinhold Glière’s virtuoso harp concerto, which is filled with late-Romantic timbres and Russian folk melodies. After that, for the first time ever in the Grand Hall, there is a chance to hear Prokofiev’s astonishingly rarely performed Seventh Symphony – a transparently composed work inspired by fairy-tale, oriental influences and an enchanting richness of melody.

Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner and Rihm

Sat, Sep 14, 2024, 19:00
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.

Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)
Kirill Petrenko feels a special bond with the Karajan Academy’s new generation of orchestral musicians. Now the Berliner Philharmoniker’s chief conductor will be conducting the ensemble in Felix Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony, a work filled with sunshine, clarity and energy. Chamber music precedes it on the programme: Mendelssohn’s miraculous Octet for strings and the sumptuous Quintet that Jörg Widmann – the current season’s Composer in Residence – composed for the Karajan Academy in 2006 when he won the Claudio Abbado Prize.

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)
The Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko kick off the new season – just a few days before the 200th anniversary of the birth of Anton Bruckner, whose work will be the focus of the 2024 programme. 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.

Kirill Petrenko conducts the German premiere of Srnka’s “Superorganisms”

Sat, Feb 15, 2025, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)
Under the title Paradise lost? On the Threat to Nature, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko open their third Biennale. One work that ideally reflects the theme is Beethoven’s “Pastoral”, which exuberantly celebrates the beauty of country life. However, the idyll proves to be fragile and is swept away by an apocalyptic storm. Miroslav Srnka’s work Superorganisms, heard here in its German premiere, embodies a completely different kind of natural phenomenon. It depicts life forms that can only exist in a community in a fascinating way. The concert opens with Arcana, by Edgard Varèse; The title refers to 16th-century alchemist and astrologer Paracelsus, who sought universal knowledge, and believed that the stars could help understand human healing.
