About «résonances»

«A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.»

Needless to say, Gustav Mahler was ambitious! The success of his Symphony N° 9 was summarised by friend and fellow composer Alban Berg as «the culmination of everything on earth and in dreams». Let’s get the Philharmonie’s new season off to a sensational start as Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker rise to the challenge and take on this epic programme. Not to be missed!
