The Philharmonia’s 80th birthday celebrations reach their grand finale – a recreation of a 1947 concert originally conducted by Richard Strauss himself.
Strauss was 83, and the Philharmonia just two years old, when he conducted the orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in a concert of his own works. Santtu, an acclaimed interpreter of Strauss’s music, now steps into his formidable shoes to recreate that extraordinary occasion.
Don Juan gets the concert off to a swashbuckling start. A gorgeous oboe solo paints a sensuous love scene, before heroic horns herald the libertine’s final duel.
Next, top British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor brings his understated brilliance to Strauss’s Burleske. Strauss wrote this delightful work when he was just 21 – perhaps a sense of nostalgia led him to programme it again in his final concert.
The autobiographical Symphonia Domestica is a portrayal of Strauss’s home life with his wife and young child. It’s full of fun and affection (and the occasional squabble), but anything but domestic in scale, calling for an orchestra of around 100 players. Its New York premiere was such a triumph that an entire floor of a Manhattan department store was cleared for two more performances, to a 6000-strong audience.
Bringing the Philharmonia’s season to a graceful close is a set of waltzes from the opera Der Rosenkavalier– a delectable dessert for this 80th birthday feast.

Biografia de Philharmonia Orchestra
The Philharmonia is an orchestra based in London. Since 1995 it has been based in the Royal Festival Hall. In Britain it is also the Resident Orchestra at De Montfort Hall, Leicester and the Bedford Corn Exchange.
The orchestra was founded in 1945 by Walter Legge, and although it did give the occasional live concert, it was mainly intended to be a recording orchestra for EMI, where Legge was an executive. Thomas Beecham led its debut concert in 1946, but he was ruled out as a long-term conductor of the group when he tried to take control of the orchestra and change its name (Beecham instead went on to found his own Royal Philharmonic Orchestra).
In its early years, many prominent conductors made recordings with the ensemble, including Arturo Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler. However it was Herbert von Karajan (who was not allowed to work in Germany or Austria at the time because of his Nazi record) who was most associated with the Philharmonia in its early years. Karajan built the orchestra into one of the finest ensembles in the world, and made numerous recordings, including all the Beethoven symphonies.
The Philharmonia is the most recorded orchestra in the world, with over one thousand recordings. It has also been heard on the soundtracks of many films, performing the musical scores of such classics as Laurence Olivier's 1944 film version of Shakespeare's Henry V, and David Lean's film version of Oliver Twist (1948).
