The 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker

An unforgettable performance in Tokyo: Rudolf Weinsheimer, founding member of the ensemble, addresses Emperor Akihito, himself a cellist and regular concertgoer, in Japanese. When he speaks to him directly, the entire audience rises. Since their founding in 1972, the 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker have been sought after worldwide. With a repertoire ranging from classical music to jazz, tango, and even the Beatles, they inspire their fans – from children to emperors.
