Program notes

The legendary Claudio Abbado takes the helm of the Berlin Philharmonic in Meiningen for this 1994 edition of the yearly Europakonzert, a beloved tradition that commemorates the orchestra's 1882 founding! At the piano sits a very special guest — the great Daniel Barenboim — to join in a program that puts the spotlight on two essential masterpieces of the classical repertoire: Beethoven's epic "Emperor" Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major and Brahms's magnificent Symphony No. 2 in D major. Under maestro Abbado's baton, the Berliner Philharmoniker delivers a note-perfect display, highlighting the lyricism, majesty, and sheer beauty of both of these works.
