The North German Radio Philharmonic at 75

The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra plays favourites by de Falla, Ginastera, Rimsky-Korsakov Copland and Ravel in two concerts given to mark its 75th anniversary.

The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra at 75.
Fiona Talkington introduces two of the concerts given this summer at the orchestra's home at the Elbphilharmonie to mark its seventy-fifth anniversary. In the first, the orchestra is joined by the Mexican conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto and star trumpeter H氓kan Hardenberger for a performance of a trumpet concerto by Bernd Alois Zimmermann premiered by this orchestra in 1955. The score is based on the spiritual 'Nobody knows de trouble I see芦,' a sign of solidarity with the oppressed black population of the USA. And in the second concert, they are directed by Alan Gilbert, their current Principal, who moved from the New York Philharmonic to join them in 2019.
