The Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko launched their 2025 tour of Asia with Richard Wagner’s tender Siegfried Idyll and Johannes Brahms’ powerful Symphony No. 1. Soloist for Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto was one of South Korea’s most celebrated musicians, pianist Sunwook Kim. A long-time admirer of the orchestra, Kim confessed: “This week with the Berliner Philharmoniker is definitely the greatest of my entire life.”
