The Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko will conclude this series with Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, one of the great farewell works in music history. In a second concert, the chief conductor presents Sergei Rachmaninov’s one-act opera tragedy Francesca da Rimini. The solo part in the Third Piano Concerto by the same composer, which is as virtuoso as it is soulful, is in the hands of Anna Vinnitskaya. To mark the 200th anniversary of Anton Bruckner’s birth, the composer’s Seventh and Eighth Symphonies will be performed under the baton of the highly esteemed guest conductors Marek Janowski and Andris Nelsons. Also on the programme: the symphonic poem Pelleas and Melisande, in which the avant-garde composer Arnold Schönberg showed his sonorous, late-romantic side.
