REPORTS
Philharmonie, Berlin 29. Feb 2012
By Herbert
I have attended the benefit concert of
Daniel Barenboim,
Anna Netrebko and the
Staatskapelle Berlin at the Philharmonie. The concert was almost sold out and in support of the reconstruction of the “Staatsoper unter den Linden”.
In the first part Anna sang three German lieder by
Richard Strauss: “Wiegenlied”, “Morgen!” and “Caecilie”. She must have rehearsed quite a bit, because her German was excellent. And with her new hair cut – short and zippy – she looked like a Hollywood star.
In the second part she thrilled the audience by an aria I had never heard before: the romanza “L’altra notte” of Margherita from
Arrigo Boito’s “Mefistofele” – full of despair and emotions. The way she sang and interpreted it was awesome, gripping and stunning. I saw how
Daniel Barenboim wiped a tear out of his eye! And I hope that this aria will be on an opera stage (and on CD or DVD) soon!
She finished the official part of the programme by Elena’s “Mercè, dilette amiche” from
Verdi’s “I vespri siciliani”.
Then there was a break, and a piano was transported hydraulically from the bottom of the orchestra pit up to the stage – quite interesting ;-)).
Then Barenboim and Anna added two songs from her Russian CD – two superb encores which made the audience cheer and jubilate.
After the show she affirmed at the stage door that she will go on tour with “Iolanta”!
It was a wonderful evening, and it showed how much Daniel Barenboim and Anna estimate and like each other!

ReplyDeleteANNA, MAS BELLA QUE SIEMPRE !! El nuevo peinado le queda de maravilla. Anna y Barenboin, dos grandes de la música actual aplaudidos en el mundo, una Rusa y otro Argentino para mi orgullo.
ReplyDeleteCarlos, cuando videos de este concierto ?, el que dieron juntos en 2010 lo vi ultimamente en mi perfil de FaceBook completo, enviaron un videocorrelativo cuando me comunican de este nuevo concierto de los dos, fué magnífico y emocionante verlos juntos.
HERBERT, tus fotos y tu crónica de este concierto son excelentes, me encantaron, casi te diría hicistes que me proyectara al mismo lugar del evento imaginando y sintiendo la voz maravillosa de Anna y el privilegio del piano de tan talentoso acompañante, un verdadero lujo. Como les envidio que estuvieron ahí.
ReplyDeleteCuando venga el maestro BARENBOIM a ARGENTINA, siempre viene y dice que ama esta patria que lo vió nacer; me acercaré y personalmente le pediré, le rogaré, que traiga a ANNA ya que demuestra que la ama y prefiere, tanto es así que en un reportaje que le hicieron expresó su profunda admiración y asentuando que ANNA NETREBKO aparte de su juventud y belleza "ES TODA MUSICA"- Espero ansiosa ver este estupendo concierto en videos !!!!!!
Aparte te tengo que felicitar como artista del retrato, siempre sacas los mejores ángulos.
Gracias, Maria Angélica! H.
