| The Berliner
Philharmoniker celebrate their founding day (May 1st, 1892) in a
European city of cultural significance every year. In 2016, the choice
has fallen on the beautiful Baroque church of Roros, a Norwegian mining
town whose intact picturesque old town makes it a UNESCO World Heritage
Site Vilde Frang (winner of the ECHO Klassik in 2013 and 2015) gave her
debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Her playing is characterized by
warmth, elegance and effortless virtuosity: ideal requirements for
Mendelssohn’s noble, songful Violin Concerto in E Minor The audience
also gained an insight into a key project of the Philharmoniker’s
2015/2016 season: Sir Simon Rattle and the orchestra performed the
“Eroica”, a symphony from the Beethoven cycle which caused a sensation
in Berlin and on their international tour. Chapters Felix Mendelssohn
