Berlin Philharmonic & Kirill Petrenko (II)
For their second concert, the Berliner Philharmoniker and its Music Director Designate Kirill Petrenko pair two of the 19th century's greatest symphonic poems with Beethoven's much-loved Seventh Symphony. If Don Juan celebrates the life of the body - energetic passions, desires and cynical ambitions - then the composer's Death and Transfiguration, a vivid portrait of the last hours of a dying artist, explores ideas of the mind and spirit. These two colourful musical narratives are set against the dance-driven energy of Beethoven's symphony. See 'All Types of Beethoven
