Jansons; Hahn; Berliner Philharmoniker

Composed by: Shostakovitch; Dvorák; Bach

For years the Berlin Philharmonic have been famous for their acclaimed Japan concerts. Performing under conductor Mariss Jansons in this live recording from 2000, they rekindled a long-standing relationship that began in 1976. Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring two-time Grammy winning soloist Hilary Hahn, is rendered with poise, elegance and demoniac vigor. Weber’s charming, zesty Oberon overture and Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony, executed with Bohemian-esque lyricism and verve, frame the concerto. Package includes the entire EuroArts & Idéale Audience Catalogue.
