Berliner Philharmoniker I

Music that tames time: Missy Mazzoli stretches a tiny moment of the Orpheus saga out into a whole suite, while Peter Eötvös’s homage to his friend, the Hungarian-French pianist Györgi (Georges) Cziffra recounts a dramatic European life in the form of a rhapsody. To follow, the Berliner Philharmoniker perform symphony music on its broadest scale in one of Charles Ives’s major works: his Fourth Symphony from 1925 collages one hundred years of collective American memories into a piece of avantgarde music.
