TheBerlin Philharmonic(‹See Tfd›German:Berliner Philharmoniker) is a German orchestra based inBerlin.It is one of the most popular, acclaimed and well-respected orchestras in the world.[1]

History

[edit]

The Berlin Philharmonic was founded in Berlin in 1882 by 54 musicians under the nameFrühere Bilsesche Kapelle(literally, "Former Bilse's Band" ); the group broke away from their previous conductorBenjamin Bilseafter he announced his intention of taking the band on a fourth-class train to Warsaw for a concert. The orchestra was renamed and reorganized under the financial management of Hermann Wolff in 1882. Their new conductor wasLudwig von Brenner;in 1887Hans von Bülow,the conductor of theMeiningen Court Orchestraand one of the most famous piano virtuosos of the time, took over the post. This helped to establish the orchestra's international reputation, and guestsHans Richter,Felix von Weingartner,Richard Strauss,Gustav Mahler,Johannes BrahmsandEdvard Griegconducted the orchestra over the next few years. In 1887, the pianist and composerMary Wurmbecame the first woman to conduct the orchestra.[2]Programmes of this period show that the orchestra possessed only 46 strings, much less than theWagnerianideal of 64.

In 1895,Arthur Nikischbecame chief conductor, and was succeeded in 1923 byWilhelm Furtwängler.Despite several changes in leadership, the orchestra continued to perform throughoutWorld War II.On 20 April 1942, Furtwängler conducted a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the Berlin Philharmonic for Hitler's birthday.[3]Following the end of the performance,Joseph Goebbelsapproached the podium to shake Furtwängler's hand. This concert led to intense criticism of Furtwängler after the war.[4]After Furtwängler (who was personally opposed to the Nazi regime[citation needed]) fled toSwitzerlandto escape arrest by theGestapoin January 1945,Leo Borchardbecame chief conductor. The final wartime concert was on 12 April 1945, just before the commencement of theBattle of Berlin.The program included Brünnhilde's Immolation Scene, the finale from Wagner'sGötterdämmerung(Twilight of the Gods).[5]Hitler Youthmembers are reported to have distributed cyanide pills to the audience for those whowished, by death, to escape the imminent arrival of the Red Army.[6][7]The battle forced the orchestra to close for two months, but it was quickly reopened by theSoviet occupation authoritiesunder theEast Berlincommandant GeneralNikolai Berzarinon 26 May 1945.[8]

Borchard was accidentally shot and killed later in 1945 by theU.S. Armyforces occupyingWest Berlin.[9]Sergiu Celibidachethen took over as chief conductor for seven years, from 1945 to 1952. Furtwängler returned as chief conductor in 1952 and held the post until his death in 1954.

The orchestra electedHerbert von Karajanas its next chief conductor. Karajan served in the post from 1955 until his resignation in April 1989, only months before his death. Under him, the orchestra made a vast number of recordings and toured widely, growing and gaining fame. The orchestra hired its first female musician, violinistMadeleine Carruzzo,in 1982.[10]However, Karajan's hiring in September 1982 ofSabine Meyer,the first female wind player to the orchestra, led to controversy when the orchestra voted 73 to 4 not to admit her to the orchestra. Meyer subsequently left the orchestra. After Karajan stood down from the orchestra in 1989, the orchestra offered the chief conductorship toCarlos Kleiber,who declined.

In 1989, the orchestra electedClaudio Abbadoas its next principal conductor. It was the first time the Philharmonic resorted to democratic voting after thefall of the Berlin Wallin 1989. Abbado expanded the orchestra's repertoire beyond the coreclassicaland romantic works into more modern20th-century works.Abbado stepped down from the chief conductorship of the orchestra in 2002. During the post-unification period, the orchestra encountered financial problems resulting from budgetary stress in the city of Berlin.[11]In 2006, the Orchestra Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic established the Claudio Abbado Composition Prize in Abbado's honour.[12]

Sir Simon Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 2006

In June 1999, the musicians electedSir Simon Rattleas their next chief conductor.[13]Rattle made it a condition of his signing with the Berlin Philharmonic that it be turned into a self-governing public foundation, with the power to make its own artistic and financial decisions. This required a change to state law, which was approved in 2001, allowing him to join the organization in 2002. In his first season, he initiated community projects, such as a performance of Stravinsky'sLe Sacre du printempsdanced by 250 public school children, documented inRhythm Is It!.Rattle's contract with the orchestra was initially until 2012. In April 2008, the BPO musicians voted in favour of retaining Rattle as their chief conductor until 2018.[14]From 2006 to 2010, the general manager of the orchestra was Pamela Rosenberg.[15]In September 2010, Martin Hoffmann became the orchestra's newIntendant.[16]Hoffmann stood down as itsIntendantafter the close of the 2016/2017 season. Andrea Zietzschmann becameIntendantinof the orchestra as of the 2017–2018 season.[17]In December 2020, the orchestra announced the extension of Zietzschmann's contract asIntendantinuntil 31 August 2025.[18]In February 2024, the orchestra announced a further extension of Zietzschmann's contract asIntendantinthrough the summer of 2028.[19]

In 2006, the orchestra announced it would investigate its role during theNazi regime.[20]In 2007,Misha AsterpublishedThe Reich's Orchestra,his study of the relationship of the Berlin Philharmonic to the rulers of the Third Reich.[21]Also in 2007, the documentary filmThe ReichsorchesterbyEnrique Sánchez Lanschwas released.[22]

UNICEFappointed the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Rattle asGoodwill Ambassadorsin November 2007.[23]On 10 January 2013, the orchestra announced the scheduled end of Rattle's tenure as artistic director and chief conductor in 2018.[24]In 2014, the orchestra founded its own label, Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings.

After an abortive first attempt on 11 May 2015,[25]the orchestra on 21 June 2015 electedKirill Petrenkoas its next artistic director and chief conductor.[26][27]In October 2015, the orchestra announced that Petrenko was to formally commence his contract as chief conductor with the 2019/20 season.[28][29]A year after this news, in October 2016, the orchestra specified more precisely the start of Petrenko's tenure as 19 August 2019.[30]

Concert halls

[edit]
Berliner Philharmonie,home of the orchestra

The orchestra's firstconcert hall,the Philharmonie situated on the Bernburger Straße in BerlinKreuzberg,was inaugurated in 1882 in a building previously used as a skating rink[31]and converted by the architectFranz Schwechten.In 1899, a smaller concert hall, the Beethovensaal on Köthener Straße, was also inaugurated for chamber music and chamber ensembles. The first Philharmonie was used until British bombers destroyed it on 30 January 1944, the anniversary of Hitler becoming chancellor.[32]The orchestra played until the end of the war in theStaatsoper,Unter den Linden.The Staatsoper was also destroyed on 3 February 1945. In need of a venue, the Berlin Philharmonic played during the years following the war in theTitania-Palast,an old movie theater converted in a concert hall, and still used the Beethovensaal for smaller concerts. During the 1950s the orchestra moved its concerts at the Musikhochschule (today part of theBerlin University of the Arts), in the Joseph-Joachim-Konzertsaal. However, most of the recordings were done at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in BerlinDahlem,celebrated for its acoustics.

The need for a new Philharmonie was expressed since 1949, when theGesellschaft der Freunde der Berliner Philharmonie e.V.(Friends of the Berliner Philharmonie Society) was created to gather funds. The building of the new Philharmonie started in 1961, following the design of architectHans Scharoun,and it was inaugurated on 15 October 1963, with a performance ofBeethoven'sNinth Symphony,conducted byHerbert von Karajan.Its location made it part of theKulturforum,and the great hall (2,440 seats) was then complemented by a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal (1,180 seats), built in 1987, following the design of architectEdgar Wisniewski,after a project by Hans Scharoun.

TheBerliner Philharmoniehas since been the home of the Berlin Philharmonic, and its symbol. The orchestra's logo is based on the pentagon-shape of the concert hall.

Waldbühne,site of an annual summer concert

On 20 May 2008, a fire broke out at the Philharmonie. One-quarter of the roof underwent considerable damage as firefighters cut openings to reach the flames beneath the roof.[33][34]The hall interior also sustained water damage, but was otherwise "generally unharmed". The firefighters limited damage by the use of foam. The orchestra was restricted from use of the hall for concerts until June 2008.[35]

On 18 December 2008, the orchestra announced the official creation of aDigital Concert Hall.[36]This hitherto unique internet platform of the BPO enables persons with computer access all over the world to see and hear the Philharmonic's concerts, live or on demand, not only under recent conductors, but even previous concerts conducted, e.g., byClaudio Abbado.Since July 2014, the Digital Concert Hall additionally offerslivestreamsproduced from HD movies of concerts byHerbert von Karajanin the 1960s and early 1970s. Since 2010, selected concerts of the Berlin Philharmonic have been transmitted live to cinemas in Germany and Europe.[37]
