Andris Nelsons dirigiert Bruckners 7. Symphonie

In the organizer's words:

It was the long-awaited breakthrough: the premiere of his 7th Symphony in Leipzig brought the 60-year-old Anton Bruckner, who was not exactly spoiled by success, his long-awaited triumph. A short time later, the Munich premiere also became a real sensation. The conductor Hermann Levi even described the "Seventh" as "the most important work since Beethoven's death" - balm for Bruckner's artistic soul, which was often derided by Viennese music critics. ANDRIS NELSONS, undisputedly one of the most renowned and innovative conductors on the international music scene, recently caused a sensation with his Bruckner cycle. Now he conducts the Munich Philharmonic, Bruckner's orchestra par excellence, in the Viennese composer's most popular symphony.

No other work of the Viennese school has managed to secure such broad popularity among concert audiences as Alban Berg's Violin Concerto. The reason for this is its emotional warmth and expressive intensity, which fascinate not only the audience but also the Latvian violinist Baiba Skride. She takes on the solo part in Berg's concerto dedicated to the memory of an angel.
