Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer

Bryce Dessner
„Trembling Earth“
Konzert für Violoncello und Orchester (DEA)

PAUSE

Anton Bruckner
Sinfonie Nr. 7 E-Dur

Iván Fischer conducts the Konzerthausorchester with a work written by composer in residence Bryce Dessner for cellist Anastasia Kobekina: “After several concertos for various instruments, I really wanted to write something that came close to a tone poem or a cello symphony - a piece that undertakes a poetic journey.”

After the interval, the concert continues with Bruckner's Symphony No. 7, which the composer wrote from 1881 to 1883. Meanwhile, Richard Wagner died. Bruckner wrote his mourning for his revered colleague in the coda of the Adagio, which is intoned by Wagner tubas and horns.
