Music Festival Berlin: Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Michael Sanderling
“The Sixth is his most personal and also most prophetic work”, wrote Alma, the composer’s wife. Mahler himself mentioned that this music contained an enigma for his audiences. This is music combining intense emotions, irony and echoes of folk music fused into an explosive frenzy which at times appears to gain an intermittent enhanced clarity.
In “Eindrücke” by Luciano Berio, the musical worlds of marches and melodies hover within space like distant memories with a dreamlike quality. Berio would have been celebrating his 100th birthday this year; in this orchestral work from 1973, he reflects on two previously composed works which significantly also have German titles: “Bewegung” and “Still”. Luciano Berio succeeds in distributing musical events across a variety of imaginary spatial tonal levels in “Eindrücke”. The large-scale orchestral forces including piano and electric organ are subdivided into individual internal ensembles whose spatial distribution can be audibly differentiated.

Konzerthaus Berlin
The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall in Berlin and home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. Situated on the Gendarmenmarkt square in the central Mitte district of the city, it was originally built as a theater. It initially operated from 1818 to 1821 under the name of the Schauspielhaus Berlin, then as the Theater am Gendarmenmarkt and Komödie. It became a concert hall after the Second World War, and its name changed to its present one in 1994.
The Konzerthausorchester Berlin is the resident orchestra of the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concert hall also hosts Young Euro Classic every summer, an international festival of youth orchestras.
