Solo debut

The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, conducted by Vasily Petrenko, turns its attention to some enduring melodies from the Russian late-Romantic period. The soloist is the harpist Anaëlle Tourret – making it a rare opportunity to experience this enchantingly beautiful instrument in such a prominent role.

»One of the finest harpists I have ever heard. She is very special,« is the verdict from the star violinist and Artist in Residence Joshua Bell, about Anaëlle Tourret. In 2018, at the age of just 25, the French musician was appointed as principal harpist of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, and she now performs regularly with renowned ensembles all over the world. High time, then, for her solo debut at the Elbphilharmonie as well. Anaëlle Tourret performs Reinhold Glière’s virtuoso harp concerto, which is filled with late-Romantic timbres and Russian folk melodies.

After that, for the first time ever in the Grand Hall, there is a chance to hear Prokofiev’s astonishingly rarely performed Seventh Symphony – a transparently composed work inspired by fairy-tale, oriental influences and an enchanting richness of melody.
