Part of the BBC Proms. 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.
