Berlin, Philharmonie Berlin — Grosser Saal
About the Event
Immerse yourself in a magical evening at the Philharmonie Berlin with the Berliner Symphoniker.
Francis Poulenc’s “Rural Concert” from 1928 signals the magnificent return of the harpsichord, dormant since Mozart's era. With melodic charm and ethereal grace, the piece transports listeners to the French Rococo era, albeit with gentle irony. Charles Gounod’s “Funeral March for a Marionette,” originally a piano sonata later orchestrated, must have appealed to Alfred Hitchcock: it became the theme for his show “Hitchcock Presents.” Nikolai Rimsky‐Korsakov’s tone poem on “Scheherazade” recounts how she skillfully spun fairy tales to keep her husband, King Shahryar, from ending her life—a thrilling tale akin to a mystery novel. For a thousand and one nights!
