Pi% The end of an era p NOW ONLINE: THE 2017/2018 SEASON Serliner Philhannoniker, Sir Simon Rattle Today's annual press conference of the Berliner Philharmoniker was marked both by excitement and a hint of sadness. The 2017/18 season is again full of top-class concert programmes — but at the same time, it also signals the departure of Sir Simon Rattle as the orchestra's chief conductor. The good news is that many of the upcoming concerts give us the opportunity to relive highlights of the Rattle years. EFTA00687999 Kirill Petrenko, Daniel Barenboim. Seiji Ozawa A performance of the oratorio The Creation, for example, lets audiences enjoy Rattle the celebrated Haydn conductor once more, while with Schumann's Das Paradies and die Peri, Sir Simon presents one of his favourite works of the Romantic repertoire. We also have another opportunity to hear the completion of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony which caused a sensation in 2012, and Rattle conducting Stravinsky is, of course, also an absolute must. On top of all that, there are joint appearances with artistic friends such as Mitsuko Uchida and Daniel Barenboim. Other than all these reminiscences are Wagner's Parsifal and Jardeek's The Cunning Little Vixen, two operas Sir Simon has never performed with the Berliner Philharmoniker before. Concerts with Mahler's Sixth Symphony — with which Rattle made his debut with the Philharmoniker in 1987 — and the traditional end-of-season concert at the Waldb0hne bring this great chapter in the history of the orchestra to a close.
