Franz Schubert
Die Zauberharfe D 644: Ouvertüre

Johannes Brahms
 Konzert für Violine und Orchester D-Dur op. 77

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphonie Nr. 5 c-Moll op. 67

Daniel Harding replaces Daniel Barenboim, who has had to cancel for health reasons.

Lisa Batiashvili has enjoyed international success as the soloist in Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto. However, she has never played the piece with the Berliner Philharmoniker before. To perform the concerto as part of her residency is therefore a special event; “There is a great Brahms tradition here, characterised by a warm, dark sound and precise articulation,” she says. “I’m really looking forward to immersing myself in the Brahms sound of the orchestra.” The conductor is Daniel Harding, standing in for an indisposed Daniel Barenboim. Harding will also conduct Beethoven’s Fifth, a symphony that epitomises classicism in music.
