Luciano Berio’s “Rendering” provides an almost dreamlike insight into the music of Franz Schubert. To celebrate the centenary of Berio’s birth, a special place has been reserved for the stylistically diverse and compositionally bold Italian in this year’s festival programme. The opening concert of the Musikfest Berlin 2025 features the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra for whom Luciano Berio originally created Schubert’s vision of a Tenth Symphony under the baton of Klaus Mäkelä, the orchestra’s future chief conductor.
