Concertgebouw plays Brahms & Strauss: Musikfest Berlin

About the Event

One of the world's top orchestras visits Berlin with a programme of enigmatic music.

Rihm described his “Summer Piece” as something “light”, but certainly not a “lightweight”; Strauss commented on “Death and Transfiguration” that: “I only got ill two years after.” And even Brahms’ “Haydn Variations”, based on a chorale of unknown origin, is not what it seems at first glance.
