Wolfgang Rihm Gruß-Moment 2

Philharmonie Hall, Berlin

Germany

Berliner Philharmoniker
Sir Simon Rattle Conductor
Patricia Kopatchinskaja Violin
Camilla Tilling Soprano

The climax of this concert with Sir Simon Rattle is Gustav Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, which stands out among the composer’s monumental works with a sunny amiability. The evening opens with the premiere of a short piece by Wolfgang Rihm, followed by György Ligeti’s violin concerto, a work that impresses soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with its “colourful, … sometimes flickering and sometimes floating auditory impression”.

Also on 11th and 12th February.
