Omer Meir Wellber and the Philharmonic State Orchestra Hamburg on DLF Kultur (January 2026)
Zeitspiel 4: Haydn meets the present – now available to listen to on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
The concert by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra conducted by General Music Director Omer Meir Wellber, recorded at the Elbphilharmonie on 21 December 2025, will be broadcast today at 8:00 p.m. CET on Deutschlandfunk Kultur. For the 4th Philharmonic Concert, Detlev Glanert drew inspiration from Joseph Haydn’s Farewell Symphony to write a new composition. Contemporary composers have written new movements for classical works for all ten Philharmonic Concerts of the season. The “ZeitSpiele” bring fresh ideas to the music and reveal surprising facets.

Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 45 fis-Moll „Abschiedssinfonie“
Detlev Glanert: „Sinfonia“ for chamber orchestra
