Sir Simon Rattle

Amongst the numerous top orchestras that make a guest appearance at the Hamburg International Music Festival is the Symphonieorchester des Bayrischen Rundfunks under the leadership of its principal conductor Sir Simon Rattle. Together, they present music by two French composers who became famous for their inquiring spirit and gift for innovation: Pierre Boulez and Maurice Ravel. The highlight of the evening is Ravel’s ballet music »Daphnis et Chloé«, which carries the audience off into lush soundscapes.
