25th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Berlin

Germany

Berliner Philharmonie

The Berlin Wall fell on 9 November 1989. 25 years later, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle commemorated this historical date with this special concert. What work could be more suitable for this purpose than Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with its message of freedom and fraternity? The victims of the division of Berlin and the world were also remembered in a performance of Karol Szymanowski’s poignant Stabat mater.
