English music with the Berliner Philharmoniker
In one of his earliest appearances with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Kirill Petrenko conducted Edward Elgar’s captivating Second Symphony, one of the many works of the English repertoire that are unfortunately heard far too rarely in German concert halls. Our varied collection ranges from the polyphony of the Renaissance to major works by Henry Purcell and Benjamin Britten to contemporary composers George Benjamin and Thomas Adès.
