Konzerthaus Berlin: Joana Mallwitz and Gautier Capuçon
Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin — Großer Saal
About the Event
Get ready to be enthralled as the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, led by its principal conductor Joana Mallwitz, opens the concert with the exhilarating symphonic poem 'Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche' (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks) by Richard Strauss. This masterfully orchestrated piece takes its listeners on a musical journey through the ups and downs of the mischievous hero's life, blending both whimsy and poetic beauty.
Joseph Haydn holds an indispensable place in the cello repertoire, and it is astonishing to think that his renowned virtuosic C major concerto was only rediscovered in Prague in 1961, long after it was believed to be lost forever. The esteemed French virtuoso Gautier Capuçon will grace the stage to interpret this beloved concerto, showcasing his exceptional talent and artistry.
In addition to these captivating works, the program will also feature one of Haydn's symphonies affectionately nicknamed 'The Bear' and a contemporary exploration of the composer's genius by Peter Ruzicka. This concert promises to be an extraordinary fusion of classical masterpieces and thought‐provoking contemporary compositions, curated to captivate and inspire audiences of all backgrounds.
