Concert information
Info
Two facets of Romanticism: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s vivid, shimmering incidental music for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream enchants with its elfin levity, and with the radiance of its famous Wedding March. Robert Schumann, by contrast, adopts a reflective tone in his Cello Concerto. Yo-Yo Ma, arguably the most famous cellist of our time, returns to the Berliner Philharmoniker after a long absence. The evening, under the baton of Dima Slobodeniouk, opens with the nostalgic work Recollections: Locket, in which our Composer in Residence, Brett Dean, quotes a theme by Clara Schumann.
