Intérprete: NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester

La temporada Palau 100 se abre con un grandioso concierto a cargo de la NDR Elbphilharmonie que incluía la Séptima sinfonía de Bruckner y el Segundo concierto de violín de Bartók a cargo de Leonidas Kavakos.

La orquesta de la NDR alemana sumergió al público de la sala Argenta de Santander en un mar de emociones que fluyeron desde la inconclusa y dramática Décima de Mahler, hasta la bucólica segunda sinfonía de Brahms, pasando por una selección de lieder del compositor vienés.

Robert Louis Stevenson was clear in the advice he gave: “It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.” Pablo Heras-Casado, Bertrand Chamayou and the house orchestra of the Elbphilharmonie embark on musical journeys, but with mixed results.

A nine-day celebration that could be also seen as a mini relaunch for the controversial building 

Making connections between works real and emphasising the value of tradition were addressed in this mix of Bartók, Martinů and Mahler from Manfred Honeck, Frank-Peter Zimmermann and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester.

Appropriately for a Russian-themed programme, two works in a minor key, one by Prokofiev and the other by Tchaikovsky, bring out the best in Alan Gilbert and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester.
