Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer: Sibelius & Bartok

About the Event

Join Iván Fischer and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin for an evening of Sibelius and Bartók, featuring Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Sibelius' melancholic but determined Violin Concerto, at Konzerthaus Berlin.

Even if Sibelius' musical language is not characterized as specifically 'Nordic', the Finnish composer's only violin concerto easily conjures the image of a solitary wanderer in the mysterious northern fog. The work is framed by Valse Triste, another signature piece by Sibelius, and by Bartók's 'The Miraculous Mandarin', music for a one‐act pantomime, and counted among the composer's finest works.
