Info

Hans Werner Henze had already become a legend during his lifetime. To mark the centenary of his birth, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester conducted by Alan Gilbert marks its debut at Musikfest Berlin alongside pianist Tamara Stefanovich with a performance of Henze’s Preludes for piano, tapes and orchestra with the enigmatic title Tristan. This is poignant funeral music containing quotations from works such as Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 which also features in this concert.
