The Beethoven cycle with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle has been a great success with critics and audiences in Berlin and on tour. A halt on this “wondrous journey” by Rattle through Beethoven's symphonic cosmos was also heard at the Easter Festival in Baden-Baden with a star cast of soloists and the Prague Philharmonic Choir. The ninth and the final symphony is probably Beethoven’s most famous composition which has again and again been the subject of political and musical dispute.
 
The programme was completed by Mozart's Piano Concerto in E flat major K. 482, whose Andante is one of the most moving and saddest movements by the composer. The soloist, Mitsuko Uchida, made an unforgettable impression as a protagonist of another cycle with the same constellation when, in 2010, she performed the complete piano concertos of Ludwig van Beethoven with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Goethe-Institut invites the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to its auditorium especially for the connoisseurs of Western classical music of Chennai.
                                                                   
We welcome you to enjoy this Digital Concert Hall with high definition video live-streaming and excellent sound to get the best close-to-real experience.
 
With this presentation, we hope to make some of the exclusive orchestral concerts a reality, which may be practically impossible otherwise.
