Description:

The Vienna Philharmonic continues to keep the musical lights on at this year's Summer Night Concert. Harding and Levitt make their double debut. This is the monumental concert that thrills Viennese audiences every year. Along with the New Year's Concert, the "Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert" is one of the Philharmonic's most famous events, and since its inception in 2004, it has become an established tradition in early summer in Vienna. The open-air concert, held at Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been broadcast live (or recorded) to more than 60 countries around the world. The concert has featured a distinguished lineup of conductors, including Gergiev, Barenboim, Welser-Möst, Maazel, Eschenbach, Mehta, and Dudamel, as well as pianist Lang Lang, tenor Kaufmann, and soprano Netrebko. The appearance of pianist Lang Lang, tenor Kaufmann, soprano Netrebko, and others also shows that this is one of the most important concerts for the Vienna Philharmonic.The Vienna Philharmonic's continued forward movement in the face of the coronary disaster has been the subject of much attention worldwide, with the orchestra's tour of Japan last November and the New Year's Concert being held without an audience. Medical and educational professionals will be invited to attend. Sony Classical has been releasing the Summer Night Concerts on CD and video since 2013, and this year's ninth concert, in 2021, will be conducted by British-born Daniel Harding, who made his impressive debut with the Vienna Philharmonic in 2004 with Mahler's Symphony No. 10. Harding, who has been a regular conductor with the orchestra since his impressive debut with the Vienna Philharmonic in 2004 with Mahler's Symphony No. 10, will make his first appearance at the concert. This year's theme is Fernweh in German, which means "longing to go far away," and includes Verdi (Sicily, Italy), Rachmaninoff (Russia), Bernstein (New York), Sibelius (Finland), Elgar (England), Debussy (Greece), We are also looking forward to a colorful selection of music that will satisfy our longing for foreign countries: Horst (Space).It is interesting to note that this Summer Night Concert is the first time that the Vienna Philharmonic will perform Rachmaninoff and Sibelius. The hottest pianist of the moment, Igor Levit, will make his first appearance with the Vienna Philharmonic in Rachmaninoff's "Paganini Rhapsody" and his first Summer Night Concert appearance, making this a double review. Speaking of Levitt's "Paganini Rhapsody," music fans in Japan still remember his impressive performance with the Orchestra of the Bavarian State Opera conducted by Kirill Petrenko at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan in September 2017. In an interview at that time, he said confidently that he had the work perfectly in his hands, "If they ask me to play (this piece) right here in the lobby, I can do it," and we can expect a performance full of concentration as only a genius can. This is the first time that Sony Classical will release a CD with orchestra by Levitt. Sony Music
