Matinee of the Friends of the Berliner Philharmoniker e. V. Das ist ja unerhört!

Berliner Philharmoniker

A nocturnal serenade, a colourful parade of animals, and a cheerful wine tasting  –  the concert by Ensemble Wien-Berlin promises many surprises. The programme opens with Mozart’s mysterious Serenade in C minor, followed by Luciano Berio’s Opus Number Zoo, which transports listeners to rural Italy where hen and fox engage in a dance. Vinko Globokar’s Avgustin, dober je vin playfully mocks intoxicated musicians, while Joachim Raff’s Sinfonietta revives the lighthearted tradition of the Viennese serenade. Ensemble Wien-Berlin, made up of members from both the Berliner and Wiener Philharmoniker, is joined by additional colleagues from Berlin for this performance.

“It is the best thing I have written in my life”, declared Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1784 of his piano quintet. Many of his most famous works had not yet been written, but the quintet remains a Mozartian jewel, with its melodic beauty and charming dialogues between the instruments. It is no wonder that the young Ludwig van Beethoven was inspired by Mozart’s example to write an equally enchanting quintet. Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker play both works with pianist Kit Armstrong. Contemporary counterpoints are provided in the form of wind quintets by Hans Werner Henze and Wolfgang Rihm.
