Unter dem Titel Paradise Lost? Von der Bedrohung der Natur eröffnen die Berliner Philharmoniker mit Chefdirigent Kirill Petrenko ihre dritte Biennale. Ein das Thema ideal reflektierendes Werk ist Beethovens »Pastorale«, die überschwänglich die Schönheit des Landlebens feiert. Doch das Idyll erweist sich als brüchig und wird von einem apokalyptischen Sturm hinweggefegt. Eine Naturerscheinung ganz anderer Art verkörpert Miroslav Srnkas Werk Superorganisms, hier zu hören in einer deutschen Erstaufführung. Auf faszinierende Weise schildert es Lebensformen, die nur in der Gemeinschaft existieren können. Das Eröffnungsstück Arcana von Edgard Varèse nimmt Bezug auf den Alchemisten Paracelsus, der nach einem Universalmittel zur Heilung der Menschen suchte.

Under the title Paradise Lost? On the Threat to Nature, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko open their third Biennale. One work that ideally reflects the theme is Beethoven’s “Pastoral”, which exuberantly celebrates the beauty of country life. However, the idyll proves to be fragile and is swept away by an apocalyptic storm. Miroslav Srnka’s work Superorganisms, heard here in its German premiere, embodies a completely different kind of natural phenomenon. It depicts life forms that can only exist in a community in a fascinating way. The concert opens with Arcana, by Edgard Varèse; The title refers to 16th-century alchemist and astrologer Paracelsus, who sought universal knowledge, and believed that the stars could help understand human healing.
