Saisoneröffnung Berliner Philharmoniker
A nostalgic, mainstream classical night.
Kirill Petrenko opens the new season with two sound-rich works that carry mysterious messages beneath their luminous surfaces. Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations offer coded portraits of the composer's friends and family, while Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony is permeated by a fate motif reflecting the personal crises he faced during its creation. Though the program features moments of light, a sense of looming misfortune remains ever-present.
