Europakonzert 2007 from Berlin

This year's Europa-Konzert takes place in Berlin, on the occasion of the 125th Anniversary of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Under the motto "The Year 1882" the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of maestro Simon Rattle are heard with Brahms’ “Concerto for violin, cello and orchestra”, his Fourth Symphony and Wagners’ “Prelude to Act I” from Parsifal - the piece that was the orchestras first recording in September 1913 under Alfred Hertz. The soloists are Lisa Batiashvili (violin) and Truls Mørk (cello), established as sought-after young virtuosos and appearing regularly with leading orchestras and in recitals throughout the world. The “Kraftwerk und Kabelwerk Oberspree (power and cable factory)” is one of the most impressive historical industrial building from the late 19th century in Berlin.
