Family Concert: “Mathis der Maler”

Mathis the Painter dreams of creating a magnificent  altarpice. He pours all his skill, his imagination, his best ideas, and his emotions into the paintings. Their expressive power touches all who see them – including Paul Hindemith, who based his symphony Mathis der Maler on the artwork. In this music, the composer built a bridge between the worlds of painting and music. Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker show how colours, shapes and feelings can come alive in sound.
