Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Jukka‐Pekka Saraste: Lindberg & Shostakovich

About the Event

The Berlin Konzerthausorchestra performs Magnus Lindberg's Second Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, featuring Anssi Karttunen, and Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony under the baton of Jukka‐Pekka Saraste at Konzerthaus Berlin.

Premiered only three years ago, Lindberg's cello concerto is a sonic flight of imagination and nuance, combining elegant style with virtuosic skill. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8, described as 'his most tragic work', occupies the second half of the program.
