What can we say. The best orchestra in the world playing Mendelssohn and Berlioz under their former chief conductor Claudio Abbado at their home venue of the Philharmonie. It just doesn't get any better than that!

We had the pleasure of hearing Brahms' Symphony No. 1 as performed by the Berlin Philharmonic in their own Orchestra Hall: the acoustic was fabulous, and the surround configuration of the seats was also very interesting without any obvious box seats. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable evening, capped with a warm pretzel bought from the lady with the basket at... More

And reserve your tickets now because the BP usually sells out quickly, and you will indeed be sad if you miss a chance to see them play at home. We managed to get two tickets at the door for Abbado's appearance last night, and it was just incredible! The acoustics are magnificent...you can hear each instrument wherever you are seated... More

I enjoyed a wonderful concert in this fabulous venue. The exterior of the building is pretty unassuming but once you're inside it is a beautiful concert hall.

If you can get tickets, this is a STUNNING evening. We listened breathlessly to the virtuso performances of concertos by Brahms and Béla Bartók during our visit in May. The conductor, Jaap van Zweden, was sheer brilliance and the crowd applauded long after the musicians had left the amazing auditorium. Get here early to have a drink and observe "Berliners"... More
