Vladimir Jurowski conducts the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra

Frank Peter Zimmermann joins the Berlin RSO, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski, in Stravinsky鈥檚 Violin Concerto. Schubert鈥檚 Symphony no. 9 in C, D. 944 completes the programme.

Fiona Talkington presents one of the highlights of the concert season in Europe:
The Berlin RSO, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski, play Stravinsky and Schubert.

鈥淭he whole orchestra was pounding. A grandiose impression. Unbelievable enthusiasm from the audience in the sold-out Philharmonie鈥�, one critic enthused after the premiere of Stravinsky鈥檚 Violin Concerto, conducted by Stravinsky himself on 23 October 1931 with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The Concerto鈥檚 witty side is mirrored in Stravinsky鈥檚 good-natured caricature of the legendary impresario Sergei Diaghilev as an elephant in a china shop, which begins the concert.
Schubert was not so lucky during his lifetime. It was only after his death that the Symphony in C major was premiered by Mendelssohn, after Robert Schumann had found the manuscript at Schubert鈥檚 brother鈥檚 home.
