In 2007, Carnegie Hall’s Berlin in Lights invited audiences to explore the culture of the fascinating city reborn after the reunification of Germany. Anchoring the festival was Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, of which he was music director for 16 years. In this film from 2015 recorded at London’s Barbican Hall, Rattle leads the orchestra in Sibelius’s Sixth and Seventh symphonies – masterworks that received their New York premieres at Carnegie Hall in 1930 and 1927, respectively.
The broadcast will become available on September 17 at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific. Available until September 24 at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific.
