Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker
Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker - LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura: Sala Teatro
Program Info: An explosive mixture of seriousness and humour, of composure and lightness: the 12 cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic invite you to set sail with them on an overwhelming musical journey.
They have already celebrated 50 years of activity, their records have repeatedly received the Echo Klassik award and they continue to be one of the leading institutions in international musical life. Whether they play classical, jazz, songwriting, film music or avant-garde repertoire, the audience is always equally fascinated by the wide range of timbres and nuances that these twelve virtuosos manage to shape. It was a radio production in 1972 that offered the idea of founding this ensemble: it was necessary to perform Julius Klengel's Hymnus , composed expressly for twelve cellos and which, not surprisingly, is presented at the opening of the program. From Klengel, the 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker will set off on an exploration of very different horizons: from Edith Piaf to John Williams, from Jean Françaix to Glenn Miller.
