Europakonzert 1994 from Berlin [Recorded live in 2000] BLU-RAY

New release of the EUROPAKONZERT Blu-ray Disc series.

The EUROPAKONZERT annually celebrates the founding of the Berlin Philharmonics on 1st May 1882.

Recorded at the Staatstheater Meiningen, in the middle of Germany, 5 years after the German Reunion, the city had remained a musical centre since Hans von Bülow went from the Meininger Hoforchester to Berlin, to be the first conductor of the Berlin Philharmonics.

The evening began with the majestic Fifth piano concerto in E flat major by Beethoven as a delicately magical, virtuoso performance by Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim, followed by Brahms's Symphony No. 2 in D major Op. 73, who had also worked with the Meininger Orchestra.
