About the Concert

In our "Best of Classical" short concerts, you will immerse yourself in the most famous works of classical music. At the beginning, Malte Arkona briefly introduces the work and provides listening tips. Afterwards, you can fully enjoy the music. Then we invite you to the bar at the Kulturpalast. There, our host will have a conversation with the conductor on a small stage. It's not about musicology - rather, it's about the guest's personal view on the music. Let yourself be surprised! About the concert: The audience did not expect so much sobbing and sighing when Tchaikovsky's Sixth and final Symphony premiered in 1893. Even for pathos-loving Russians, this was unusual. But they understood that the composer was addressing profound themes: pain, farewell, death, and that he wanted to convey something that could also bring comfort. Today, this symphony is one of the most well-known and beloved of the 19th century overall, and it should be noted that it also contains cheerful, uplifting passages.
