A Persian sultan, enraged by his unfaithful wife, murders a young woman every morning. A clever princess aims to end this terror through storytelling. This frame story from "One Thousand and One Nights" inspired Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." A solo violin portrays the princess, while the orchestra depicts her stories of storms, caravans, feasts, and flying carpets.
The things you find when cleaning ... the »Rheinische«? Sounds like an insurance policy. But it’s music by Robert Schumann. And he actually composed it standing up – at a table. Perhaps so that he could dance better? Cleaner and professional polisher Malte will make your ears sparkle. You are in for lively sounds and incredible stories with all the highs and lows from the lives of Clara and Robert Schumann. Guaranteed to be cheerfully dust-free!The concert will be conducted by Oscar Jockel, assistant conductor to Kirill Petrenko with the Berlin Philharmonic and recipient of the Siemens Conductor Scholarship.
With a large orchestra, one can tell whole stories. One of the greatest musical storytellers was undoubtedly Igor Stravinsky. The sounds and rhythms conjured by him caused scandals more than 100 years ago - today, on the other hand, they inspire us to create grand images like in the cinema. This is also the case with the tale of the "Firebird" with all its sophisticated colors and instruments: eerie and dark sounds for the immortal sorcerer Kashchey, bright colors for the Firebird, and folkloric music for the prince and princess. Unusual orchestral instruments such as tambourine and xylophone are also included.

In the concerts of the series "Best of Classical Music," you will hear the most famous works of classical music. A brief introduction at the beginning will guide you through the piece and provide listening tips. The entire work will then be performed. Afterwards, we would be happy to welcome you to our bar on the 1st floor, where our host will meet with the conductor for an artist talk. This conversation will not be strictly academic - rather, we aim to take you into the personal world of our guests. About the concert: One of the unsolved mysteries of music history, a fast tempo, and a motif of death. All this and much more is contained in Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, which many consider to be his most cheerful and positive. It is no wonder, as the first movement already features dance-like rhythms, and in the final movement, the musicians really go all out. Some parts of the first movement resemble a Mozart symphony so much, even though Beethoven was not familiar with it, that one suspects a different influence. But what is it? That remains a secret to this day. The slow movement is also mysterious, with a haunting motif that evokes sadness and death. It is not easily forgotten.
Music really brings a film to life! Whether contemplative moments, fast-paced chases or sad farewells – the right music completes the scenes. Music is used as a means to drive the plot forward and steer it in a certain direction. What composition techniques are there? What happens when the same music accompanies different images? Together with the orchestra, presenter and music lover Malte Arkona explores selected soundtracks in a humorous and informative way.
