Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

Robin Ticciati conducts the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin in Haydn's Symphony No 96 in D, 'Miracle', and Elgar's Enigma Variations.

The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin began life in 1946 as the RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) Symphony Orchestra but has played under its current name since 1993, co-owned by Deutschlandradio and the Federal Republic of Germany. Recently dubbed an 'orchestral think tank', the orchestra's Chief Conductor for the last three seasons has been the young Brit Robin Ticciati who has won plaudits for his imaginative programming and re-thinking of concerts. Here they perform two repertoire staples which nonetheless demonstrate their flexibility and ear for style. Haydn's Symphony No. 96, one of a series written for his London audience, is one of the high points of the late Classical era. The Enigma Variations, Elgar's musical portraits of his friends (and a dog), at once witty, affectionate and profound, is the work which sealed his international reputation at the end of the 19th century.

Recorded at the Philharmonie, Berlin, in March and introduced by Fiona Talkington.
