Upcoming: Waldbühne 2013 – Freude schöner Götterfunken
For more than 20 years EuroArts has produced the annual summer concert of the
Berliner Philharmoniker at one of the most appealing European outdoor amphitheatres - the
Waldbühne in Berlin.
The “Violin Concerto in E minor”, which was written by
Felix Mendelssohn
in 1843-1844, opens the concert. With a formal structure that breaks
with the conventions of the classical concerto, this masterpiece is
interpreted by talented violinist
Christian Tetzlaff, who gave his philharmonic debut in 1995.
Following
Christian Tetzlaff's performance, the
Berliner Philharmoniker give a rendition of
Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony”, under the baton of their music director
Sir Simon Rattle. The famous final movement, "Ode to Joy", named after Friedrich von Schiller's poem, is sung by the
Rundfunkchor Berlin and the renowned soloists
Camilla Tilling,
Nathalie Stutzmann,
Joseph Kaiser and
Dimitry Ivashchenko.
