Berlin Philharmonic / Tugan Sokhiev
Prokofiev / Ravel
When the Berlin Philharmonic invites music lovers to its annual end-of-season concert at Berlin’s Waldbühne, the tickets sell out fast. The unique atmosphere of this open-air arena can even be enjoyed at home on the TV screen. This season, the top orchestra brings its programme to the Elbphilharmonie.
The Berlin musicians pay tribute to the magic of an oriental summer night with Ravel’s orchestral songs »Shéhérazade«. Award-winning mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa lends her warm and crystal-clear voice to the seductive storyteller from the »Arabian Nights«.
The perfect piece to get the audience in the mood for the greatest love story of all time, to which Prokofiev gave unforgettable form in his moving ballet score: Shakespeare’s »Romeo and Juliet«.
