Dresdner Philharmonie: Michael Sanderling Conducts Shostakovich

The 2018/2019 concert season was Michael Sanderling’s eighth as Principal Conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic. His name is associated with a great musical and technical ambition, concentrated rehearsal work, and concert events of unforgettable intensity. The focus on Dmitri Shostakovich continues, both in concert and the recording project of the Shostakovich symphonies. The new concert hall is the heart of the rebuilt Kulturpalast right in the city centre. Similar to the Philharmonie in Berlin and the Gewandhaus in Leipzig it was built in the so called Weinberg style which guarantees clear acoustics.
