Concert Stream: Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Kent Nagano

The Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and its chief conductor Kent Nagano open the digital music festival with what is probably the best-known symphony in the classical music repertoire: »This is fate knocking on the door«, Beethoven is believed to have said about the famous »knocking motif« in his Fifth Symphony. The Hamburg-based orchestra precedes this monumental hit from the early 19th century with the premiere of a work by Swiss composer William Blank: for his triple concerto »Alisma«, three outstanding soloists return to the Elbphilharmonie – Viennese clarinettist Daniel Ottensamer and the congenial duo of cellist Jan Vogler and violinist Mira Wang.
