Berliner Philharmoniker
Sir Simon Rattle	Musikalische Leitung

One of the world’s most remarkable musical
partnerships offers an evening of wide-ranging sonic
adventure. Three gripping approaches to
experiencing calm feature in the first half – from
Ligeti’s slowly shifting sound-clouds through Wagner’s
sustained stillness to Sibelius’s most formidable and
bleak evocation of a frozen landscape. The Gallic
second half is all about movement and dance. Tennis
is not the only game played in
Debussy’s flirtatious ballet for
Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, while
Ravel’s suite, drawn from an
earlier commission for the same
company, begins with a sunrise
and ends in an orgy.

Plan

Prom 63: Texture and atmosphere is all from the Berliner Philharmoniker

David Karlin, 31st August

It was, truly, music from another world. Opening the concert with György Ligeti's 1961 Atmosphères, the Berliner Philharmoniker started with the gentlest of wafting string tones with clustered woodwind sounding almost organ-like, whereupon layer after layer piled in, an infinite variety of orchestral textures shifting and swirling.
