Beethoven: Symphony No 7 in A major
Berliner Philharmoniker
Kirill Petrenko, conductor
For their second concert, the Berliner Philharmoniker and its Music Director Designate Kirill Petrenko pair two of the 19th century鈥檚 greatest symphonic poems with Beethoven鈥檚 much-loved Seventh Symphony. If Don Juan celebrates the life of the body 鈥� energetic passions, desires and cynical ambitions 鈥� then the composer鈥檚 Death and Transfiguration, a vivid portrait of the last hours of a dying artist, explores ideas of the mind and spirit. These two colourful musical narratives are set against the dance-driven energy of Beethoven鈥檚 symphony.
