Berliner Philharmoniker II

Treading new paths, rebelling against entrenched habits, a thirst for discovery – these cardinal virtues of great art resonate in every bar of the Berliner Philharmoniker’s second concert at the Musikfest Berlin. The programme effortlessly traces a line from Johannes Brahms and his groundbreaking Symphony No. 1 to the enigmatic music of Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Oboe Concerto, with soloist Albrecht Mayer, and the monumental sounds Pascal Dusapin elicits from the orchestra.
