Berliner Philharmoniker
Kirill Petrenko conducts Beethoven, Brahms and Schoenberg
Concert
Herbert-von-Karajan-Str. 1, 10785 Berlin
Description
After Beethoven’s Seventh and Ninth Symphonies, Kirill Petrenko now conducts the Eighth with the Berliner Philharmoniker, in which the composer humorously toys with the audience’s expectations. The programme also presents two splendid sets of orchestral variations: the good-humoured Haydn Variations by Johannes Brahms and Arnold Schoenberg’s Variations for Orchestra, in which the composer applied his twelve-tone technique for the first time. The work, which was premiered by the Berliner Philharmoniker under Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1928, shows not least how much Schoenberg was inspired by Brahms – a fascinating juxtaposition.
