Jordi Savall, the winner of the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize 2026, has made a substantial contribution to shedding new light on repertoire from the Classical and Romantic periods with his magnificent original-sound orchestra Le Concert des Nations. His intensely trenchant and sharply focused interpretations have produced incredible performances of symphonic works by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Bruckner which can hardly be surpassed. Following the homage to Jordi Savall organised by the Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation during the season 2025/26, the visionary conductor who is renowned for his meticulous approach will be presenting an evening of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy at the Musikfest Berlin featuring the “Scottish” and “Italian” symphonies alongside his overture The Hebrides.
