About

Each year, the Berliner Philharmoniker celebrates the anniversary of its creation (May 1st, 1882) with an unforgettable concert taking place in a different big European city each time. In 2008, the ‘Europa Konzert’, was held in the Tchaikovsky Academy of Moscow, a holy place for music.

The BPO is considered the best orchestra in the world, and it is conducted by the renowned Sir Simon Rattle. Vadim Repin, Prince of the violin - as many people call him - has been compared to Oistrakh.

Bruch's is one of the most famous and best-loved of all violin concertos;
Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements highlights the virtuosity and the expertise of the Berlin Philharmonic, whilst Beethoven's 7th Symphony shows the incomparable tone pallet of this orchestral limousine.

"The musicians are very articulate, they are very open, they are very curious. They always want to know why we are doing something. They don't just do it - they are not an obedient orchestra in that way, but they are a very creative orchestra." - Sir Simon Rattle
