At the start of their biennale entitled Paradise Lost? On the Threat to Nature, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko continue their acclaimed Beethoven interpretations with the “Pastoral”. Beethoven shared the love of nature expressed in this work with Schubert and Mahler, whose music is on the programme under the direction of Zubin Mehta and Tugan Sokhiev. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, which Gustavo Dudamel will combine with Beethoven’s rarely performed incidental music to Goethe’s Egmont, offers rugged landscapes of the soul. Marek Janowski conducts Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony, the composer’s most famous work, while Jonathan Nott conducts the Fourth Symphony by the American composer Charles Ives – visionary and powerful music.
