Interview
Kirill Petrenko and Lars Vogt in conversation with Sarah Willis Kirill Petrenko conducts Beethoven and Elgar
When Kirill Petrenko conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker for the second time in 2009, a critic wrote presciently it would be “exciting to see the dimensions Petrenko’s career takes on”. It was not only the extraordinary abilities of the conductor that were clear that evening, but also his special relationship with the orchestra. The programme included Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto with Lars Vogt as the soloist and Elgar’s Second Symphony.
