Kirill Petrenko conducts Suk. Wherever Kirill Petrenko appears, he makes a name for himself. From 1999 to 2002 he was General Music Director of the Meininger Theater, where he led the sensational production of Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen, which premiered on four consecutive days. Since 2002 Petrenko has been General Music Director at the Komische Oper Berlin, and here too he is the guarantor of a noticeable increase in quality. Josef Suk, this wonderfully sonorous late … mehrromantic, is a special concern of his. Together with DeutschlandRadio Berlin, we have now planned a small Suk series, which Petrenko will perform live with his new orchestra, the Orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin. The first result is a truly breathtaking interpretation of the great Asrael Symphony, which was initially intended as a tribute to the revered, recently deceased father-in-law Dvorak, but then became a harrowing double requiem, as Dvorak's daughter-also Suk's wife Otylka-died far too early at the age of 27 while working on the work. weniger
