Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker
- Classical Music
The 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker are one of the most prominent institutions in international musical life. In 1972, a radio production of Julius Klengel’s Hymnus for twelve cellos with members of the Philharmoniker’s cello section provided the impetus for the founding of a soloist ensemble of this calibre, whose tonal and virtuoso qualities won over concert audiences around the world.
Today, the 12 cellists occupy an outstanding, unique position in international musical life. They have succeeded in captivating audiences of all ages with their alternation of seriousness and humour, depth and lightness. As ambassadors of Berlin, they have accompanied the German Federal President on state visits, and whether classical, jazz, tango or avant-garde, the sound frenzy of 12 cellos is always fascinating, producing a unique and multifaceted mixture of sound colours.
