“Late Night” concert with Sir Simon Rattle, Magdalena Kožená and Olaf Ott
With this concert from 2011, Simon Rattle launched the Philharmoniker’s Late Night series. A nocturnal mood is created in particular by de Falla’s Impressionist vocal scene Psyché and Dallapiccola’s Piccola musica notturna – whose title means nothing other than “Little Night Music”. The two works by Luciano Berio, in contrast, the Sequenza V for solo trombone with Olaf Ott and the Folk Songs with Magdalena Kožená, are colourful and lively.
A new format for musical discovery: the Late Night programme allows you to enjoy even more music after a Berliner Philharmoniker concert – in a unique mix. Luigi Dallapiccola’s Piccola musica notturna in particular creates a nocturnal mood. The title is obviously a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Mozart. But unlike Mozart, Dallapiccola’s poetic work really captures the atmosphere and the sounds of the night. The morning also has its place in this programme, namely, in Manuel de Falla’s Impressionist vocal scene Psyché, which depicts a general awakening in spring.
In the second vocal contribution of the concert – Luciano Berio’s Folk Songs – we encounter all of life itself in all its variety. In this cycle, Berio brings together eleven songs from eight countries: a compressed journey through the most different musical and emotional worlds. Berio’s Sequenza V for solo trombone offers a similarly concentrated richness, in which the sound of the instrument is presented in all its nuances – and at times seems almost unreal, even electronic.
