#deutschegrammophon #classicalmusic #stageplus
Watch Simon Rattle conduct the spirited Intermezzo from Kodály’s 'Háry János Suite' with the Berliner Philharmoniker as we mark the 100th anniversary of the premiere of the original opera, from which the orchestral suite is taken. The opera premiere was on 16 October 1926.

This performance is taken from the Berliner Philharmoniker’s 2014 New Year’s Eve Concert at the Philharmonie Berlin, conducted by Simon Rattle and also featuring pianist Menahem Pressler.

For decades, Menahem Pressler was the pianist of the famous Beaux Arts Trio before embarking on his late career as a soloist that was admired by the entire classical music world. At the age of 90, he makes his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in January 2014, the same year he returned to the orchestra for the New Year's Eve Concert with an irresistibly subtle interpretation of Mozart's 23rd Piano Concerto. Simon Rattle opens the evening with the rhythmically and harmonically refined music of Jean-Philippe Rameau, a favourite composer of his. Dance-like, lively works by Dvořák and Kodály are followed by rousing encores that are equally as captivating.
