Is it a symphony or a monumental oratorio? Either way, Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” – conducted by Kirill Petrenko – offers the audience an unparalleled experience. A contemporary of Mahler, Hans Rott found his own path to the lush sound world of late romanticism. This series also features many iconic works from mainstream repertoire, including Beethoven’s declamatory Piano Concerto No. 5, with Víkingur Ólafsson as soloist. Two symphonic poems by Richard Strauss are also on the programme. In one of them – Don Quixote – musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker can be heard in solo roles. Early music icon Jordi Savall traces the path from the baroque era to Viennese classicism with Mozart’s “Jupiter Symphony”, making his debut with the orchestra.
