Musical Europe Today The Orchestra of the Berlin Philharmonic within the 2010 Proms Festival - two special evenings presenting an event bound to attract the audience. Berliner Philharmoniker is one of the legendary symphonic ensembles of the continent, and the prestige of the conductors that have led it have rendered its performances more and more famous. If the second programme proposed by Sir Simon Rattle (since 2002, the British artist has been principal conductor of this renowned orchestra) highlights Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss’ Romantic world, offering a lyrical image of the Second Viennese School (pieces by composers such as Schoenberg, Webern and Berg), the first encounter with the London audience is much more related to the tradition of this group’s music seasons: the Beethoven-like symphonism revealed by the fourth score of the series, the one in B flat major accompanied by the expressive diversity of Gustav Mahler’s music, as it appears in his first symphony... The Orchestra of the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle live from the BBC Proms Festival, only on Radio Romania Music, on September 3rd. Anca Ioana Andriescu
