Tchaikovski, la Cinquième - Konzerthausorchester Berlin

Presented by Le Département des Hauts-de-Seine and its delegate producer ERDA,, Insula orchestra A cult programme on the theme of fate. Violinist Bomsori sublimes Mendelssohn's Concerto before the orchestra unleashes the fatal power of Tchaikovsky's Fifth. Under the direction of Joana Mallwitz, the first female chief conductor of a permanent orchestra in Berlin, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin charts a course under the sign of fate. In Emilie Mayer's Faust Overture, music of the quest inspired by Goethe, momentum collides with doubt. Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor extends this tension in a continuous flow. Its immediate lyricism and demand for purity of line make it an ideal work for Bomsori, the Korean violinist whose playing is both fervent and of great elegance. In the second half, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 deploys its grand fresco of fate, traversed by dark tensions before a deliberately ambiguous conclusion.
