Berliner Philharmonie

Anyone who wants to continue the symphonic tradition must have self-confidence and creativity. In this concert, Kirill Petrenko presents two composers who took this risk: we hear Witold Lutosławski’s splendidly virtuosic Symphony No. 1 and the Janus-faced Second Symphony by Johannes Brahms, which the composer himself described as a “lovely monster”. The concert opens with Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s sound surface composition Photoptosis.

Approved

Anyone who wants to continue the great tradition of the symphony needs self-confidence and creativity. In this concert, Kirill Petrenko presents two composers who took this risk: the wonderfully virtuosic Symphony No. 1 by Witold Lutosławski; the conclusion is marked by Johannes Brahms' double-faced Second Symphony: a half-sunny, half-dark work that the composer himself described as a "lovely monster." Bernd Alois Zimmermann's soundscape composition Photoptosis from the second half of the 20th century opens the evening.
