Berlin Philharmonic in Gabrieli: Canzon septimi et octavi toni a 12. Rihm: IN-SCHRIFT 2. Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Plus Beethoven, Kurtag and Berlioz.

The Berlin Philharmonic's concert in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Philharmonie. With a design heavily influenced by the stringent acoustic requirements of Herbert von Karajan, the Philharmonie has been the orchestra's home ever since. Simon Rattle and friends devised a fascinating celebratory concert which explores the acoustic properties of the hall in music ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day and which ends with Berlioz's monumental Grande symphonie funèbre et triomphale.
