The Berliner Philharmoniker have been a regular festival guest since 1958 and performed much acclaimed concerts every year. In 2014, the orchestra under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle will complete their cycle “Moving to Modern Times” with Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird which the composer set to gorgeous, scintillatingly colorful ballet music in 1909-10. Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker will pair this lush score of orientalizing lyricism with another masterpiece of Russian late Romanticism: Sergei Rachmaninoff’s rousing Symphonic Dances, which likewise escorts us into a magical realm of fantasy.
