Schubert’s “Great” C major Symphony is considered by many to epitomise romanticism in orchestral music. The first call of the horns is typical of the era – evoking a sound world that is at once warm, idyllic and full of yearning. Conductor Zubin Mehta has included two further Romantic works on the programme: Carl Maria von Weber’s overture to the fairy-tale opera Oberon and Henryk Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 1, with its combination of heartfelt expression and overwhelming virtuosity. Himari, who comes from Japan and is just 13 years old, makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker as soloist.

Florian Illies, known for his chronicle of German sentiment, has recently captivated audiences with compilations on 1913 and love during times of hate. His latest work delves into German Romanticism, portraying Caspar David Friedrich as a painter of devout introspection on the edge of abstraction. The symphony concert "Sound of Silence" complements this, showing Friedrich wasn't alone in his artistic journey.
