While hunting for the Firebird, Prince Ivan ends up in the garden of a magician, in whose magic tree he discovers the golden plumage. As a price for his freedom, the bird gives the prince a magic feather that will summon him when in danger. Igor Stravinsky tells how Ivan uses it and what the magician's dance of hell is all about in his ballet music "The Firebird".

The "Norwegian Dances" sound no less spirited, for which Edvard Grieg used the popular Sinklar March and three traditional bridal dances of young men. This is somewhat similar to the "Slavonic Dances" by Antonín Dvořák, whose 7th Symphony will open the concert.

Berliner Philharmonie

Mozart's "Jupiter Symphony" marks a conclusion and at the same time a departure into new worlds. With it, Mozart crowns and ends his work in the field of the symphony in the highest perfection. At the same time, he presents the first monumental work in the line of tradition that will determine symphonic music in the 19th century. After all, this symphony is one of those works that established Mozart's immortal fame early on. One of his most ardent admirers was Tchaikovsky. He said that the music of this "sunny genius" moved him to tears.
