Rising with its golden roof from the self-inflicted ashes of World War II, right at the center of the remains of Hitler's megalomaniac World Capital Germania, the new concert hall for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra has become the symbol of another Germany; a newly democratized nation that sought to reshape itself with the help of cultural experiences. Today, the Philharmonie is the nucleus of Berlin's Kulturforum with five museums, two concert venues and the state library, West Berlin's response during the Cold War to the Museum Island on the east of Berlin.Scharoun (1893-1972) had pursued all his life to project a symbol for new democracy in Germany. Ever since the revolutionary air swept German society after World War I, Scharoun and a number of his friends were dreaming of the new gleaming glass dome on top of a cultural building that would become the alternative to the cathedral. More than four decades later, the purpose-built concert hall for one of the world's most respected orchestras, opened its doors to an avid audience.With this fifth O'Neil Ford Monograph, the Archive of the Academy of the Arts, Berlin, the Center for American Architecture and Design together with the O'Neil Ford Chair in Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin document another outstanding example of contemporary architecture. This fifth volume includes three essays and the reproduction of extensive hitherto unpublished archival material, and concludes with a comprehensive selection of photographs.

For decades the relationship between the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and National Socialist regime has been shrouded in mystery. In 1933, the world-renowned orchestra came under the control of Hitler's Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels; the musicians became civil servants of the Reich and until the end of World War Two, the orchestra served as Germany's flagship cultural ambassador, touring internationally, and performing at the Nuremberg Rallies, the opening of the 1936 Olympic Games and each year on Hitler's birthday. While benefiting from this patronage, the orchestra musicians were ambivalent abouttheir position - some colleagues joined the Nazi Party while others were of Jewish ancestry - and attempted to balance their political status with artistic independence. At the heart of this story is the iconic conductor, Wilhelm Furtwängler, a figure who continues to arouse fierce debate, not the least due to his close relationship withGoebbels. Furtwängler promised that "the name Wilhelm Furtwängler should alwaysremain inseparable from that of the Philharmonic" and the consequences of this pactare explored comprehensively. For decades, Furtwängler's successor as Chief Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan, a former Party member whose meteoric rise was intimately tied to the intrigues of the Third Reich, discouraged investigation of this disturbing history .Now bringing together documents culled from the orchestra and State archives, as well as private letters and testimony from the orchestra's musicians, Misha Aster tells this remarkable story for the first time. He portrays how German societyfirst came to be seduced and then morally compromised by Nazism. Though the Berlin Philharmonic enjoyed exceptional privilege during the years 1933-45, The Reich's Orchestra vividly captures how ordinary Germans experienced the Nazi regime, and how their normal lives were stretched between desperation, fear, reticence and opportunism. The Reich's Orchestra is a remarkable depiction of the moral ambiguities of living under the Nazis told through the story of one of the world's great orchestras.

In this Very Short Introduction, D. Kern Holoman considers the structure, roots, and day-to-day functioning of the modern philharmonic society. He explores topics ranging from the life of a musician in a modern orchestra, the recent wave of new hall construction from Berlin to Birmingham, threats of bankruptcies and strikes, and the eyebrow-raising salaries of conductors and general managers. At the heart of the book lies a troubling pair of questions: Can such a seemingly anachronistic organization long survive? Does the symphony matter in contemporary culture? Holoman responds to both with a resounding yes. He shows that the orchestra remains a potent political and social force, a cultural diplomat par excellence. It has adapted well to the digital revolution, and it continues to be seen as an essential element of civic pride. In a time of upheaval in how classical music is created, heard, distributed, and evaluated, the orchestra has managed to retain its historic role as a meeting place of intellectual currents, an ongoing forum for public enlightenment.

This book represents the first comprehensive study of the relationship between Hitler’s regime and its musical crown jewel, the Berlin Philharmonic. The Nazi’s patronage afforded the Berlin Philharmonic innumerable privileges unique among German cultural institutions. The orchestra accepted these benefits with a combination of gratitude, apprehension, and vindication. As the musicians attempted to balance their exceptional status with a degree of artistic and organizational autonomy, tensions between ideological principle, legal jurisdiction, personal taste, and pragmatic regulation revealed profound contradictions at the heart of the Nazi State. In terms of institutional development, the transformations of the Berlin Philharmonic between 1933 and 1945 remain the models for the orchestra’s organization to the present day. Drawing together documents from orchestra, state, and private archives, this book reflects the experience of a major cultural institution, at once distressingly typical of Germany’s Nazi experience, and astonishingly distinct.

Rudolf Weinsheimer, cellist and member of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for 40 years under Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, is also known as the founder of the Ensemble of the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. He organ-ized worldwide tours for his orchestra and the 12 Cellists and was instrumental in encouraging world-renowned composers like Boris Blacher, Arvo Pärt or Iannis Xenakis to write new music for the Ensemble of the 12 Cellists. In this biography, he tells his life story, the story of a passionate and talented young man who, as a wartime child growing up in Wiesbaden, has to learn how to survive the dismal and sometimes cruel times, without losing track of his goal to become a musician like his father. It is a story of ambition, coincidence, fate, resilience, and overall a positive attitude towards change and progress, which leads this young man on the right path. He tells about encounters with famous musicians during 40 years of touring the world with his orchestra, and recalls anecdotes about both failures and moments of great success, at home as well as abroad. Most importantly, however, there is the feeling of music uniting and reconciling the nations of this world, with Japan being a cornerstone in his vita. Finally, it is also a story about post-war Germany on her way to overcome her guilt and accept responsibility by fostering peace and understanding among the people of this world through music. In hindsight, it becomes clear that also many famous pieces of music of the 20th century - Shostakovich in his 10th Symphony, for example, or Richard Strauss, for that matter - grapple with the conflicts of the 20th century. Rudolf Weinsheimer keeps the reader close to his life experiences, be they professional or private, he is honest and outspoken at times, yet always human, and also philosophical when it comes to the unexpected turns life can take.

How are conductors' silent gestures magicked into sound by a group of more than a hundred brilliant but belligerent musicians? The mute choreography of great conductors has fascinated and frustrated musicians and music-lovers for centuries. Orchestras can be inspired to the heights of musical and expressive possibility by their maestros, or flabbergasted that someone who doesn't even make a sound should be elevated to demigod-like status by the public. This is the first book to go inside the rehearsal rooms of some of the most inspirational orchestral partnerships in the world - how Simon Rattle works at the Berlin Philharmonic, how Mariss Jansons deals with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and how Claudio Abbado creates the world's most luxurious pick-up band every year with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. From London to Budapest, Bamberg to Vienna, great orchestral concerts are recreated as a collection of countless human and musical stories.
