Excellent promo

I ve always loved this orchestra and its sound which has altered over the years but is still for me THE greatest in the world bar none.

Its outreach programmes are a model for every similar institution to win new converts to classical music.

And as a Brit I am proud Simon Rattle is still the principle conductor and just wish we had an orchestra that was even a tenth as good.

But you berliners have an orchestra not just for a city or country but for the world.

Bravo

my college's orchestra just played the Bartok Concerto, and my piano professor's teacher had Bartok's original piano transcription

[changjiang001]

[BerlinPhil]

It's the finale from Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra.

I've subscribed to Berlin's Digital Concert Hall since January, and I've been inspired by the production quality and the wonderful musical perfomances. I just wish that other elite orchestras (Chicago, Philly, NY Phil, etc.) would strive for something similar.

Terrific! A great experience!

oh my god. I'm in love with the (female) flautist at 0.25 What is her name?

[twombly5]

This is Sascha Kristina Rathey. She is a scholar of the Orchester-Akademie of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

[redhotchiliangel]

She is beautiful!

[virtuosomusician]

Can someone please tell me what movement this is?

[BerlinPhil]

It is the finale from Bartók's Concerto for orchestra (well, an adapted version - who finds the two cuts?)

[redhotchiliangel]

On :45 one cut, on 1:27 second cut.

[BerlinPhil]

Not bad. But the first one is at 0:51 (our sound engineer will be glad to see he did such a good job).

[ariastoteles]

Bravo!

Concerto for orchestra by Bartok!

[mclaughlinkp]

[anzdf]

[redhotchiliangel]

hahaha, no it doesnt. But this video is awesome!

[redhotchiliangel]

Great.

What a beautiful interpretation of Concerto for orchestra by Bartok. I thought it was a little slow in the beginning, but the clarity more than makes up for it!

Can't wait for them to play Sibelius symphony nos. 5-6-7, I have tickets for it!

[CJSweatt]

One of the best concert subscriptions on which I have ever spent my money! If you're not able to be there live, this is be next best alternative! Seriously, do it!

[Lucasbothmer]

word.dis is really da hot music, da h h h hot mu-siiiic.

[wagneristhebest]

my favourite is by far Daniel Barenboim - an absolute legend of music. And Abbado is just amazing. - i hope more Wagner and Beethoven is done tis season - like the 9th and cuts from the Ring. The Strauss was brilliant last season but most of all id love to hear more Romantic concertos - like sibelius and liszt and that :)
