“I’m 52 now,” Petrenko said during a Zoom news conference with U.S. media ahead of the tour. “Maybe my previous 10, 20 years were more connected with Mahler, also because of my Jewish heritage, maybe because I also am some sort of outsider — no home here, no home there. But maybe it will change and now I worked very intensively with this Bruckner.”
In an age of widespread audio and video streams, live performances remain an unmatched experience. The U.S. is the second-largest market behind Germany for the orchestra’s digital concert hall, launched in 2008-09. Petrenko was born in Omsk, then part of the Soviet Union, in 1972 and moved as a teenager to Austria. He came to Berlin after serving as general music director of the Meininger Theater , Berlin’s Komische Oper and Munich’s Bavarian State Opera . His podium presence in Berlin has matured with familiarity.
“We can be brilliant. We can be perfect. We can be fantastic performers,” Petrenko said, “but there is some authentic side of one piece, what is today after we lost a lot of traditions, are very, very difficult to achieve, and the historic recordings are helping us.”
