The SWR Symphony Orchestra is a regular guest at the Elbphilharmonie: here it pairs Berio’s »Sinfonia«, a modern classic, with Schubert’s epic »Great« C major Symphony. The Budapest Festival Orchestra was founded by Iván Fischer as a kind of Hungarian national selection and is recognised by experts as one of the world’s best orchestras. It performs a true rarity in the shape of Richard Strauss’s »Joseph’s Legend«: composed in 1914 for the legendary Ballets Russes in Paris, the piece is rarely heard owing to the large ensemble it calls for. The Oslo Philharmonic presents a Russian programme with its chief conductor Klaus Mäkelä on the rostrum. Under the baton of Finnish conductor Eva Ollikainen, the orchestra from another spectacular concert hall – the Harpa in Reykjavík – makes its first appearance at the Elbphilharmonie. And for the finale, there won’t be a dry eye in the house when the great Sir Simon Rattle performs Brahms’s Fourth Symphony.
