Berliner Philharmoniker
Simon Rattle – Ian Bostridge
Benjamin Britten "Nocturne“, Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 9
Alongside two ACCENTUS Music productions with Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in August there is another late summer highlight at KKL Lucerne: Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker present works by Benjamin Britten and Anton Bruckner on 1 September 2011. Benjamin Britten gathered eight musical-poetic night pieces together under the title “Nocturne”: musical settings of English poets throughout the centuries performed by tenor Ian Bostridge. This cycle of orchestral songs is coupled with Bruckner’s “Swan Song,” his last symphony, which was unfinished and which he dedicated to “Dear God” - Symphony No. 9 in D minor.
A production of ACCENTUS Music in co-production with SRF/ARTE and in co-operation with LUCERNE FESTIVAL, directed by Michael Beyer and produced by Paul Smaczny.
The concert will be broadcasted on Sunday, 4 September 2011, at 6.10 p.m. on ARTE.
Simon Rattle and the BPO will also perform Bruckner Symphony No. 9 in Taipei in November.
