In 2015, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Europakonzert could hardly have been more European, taking the orchestra to Greece, the country the name “Europe” comes from, and the cradle of democracy. In the Athens concert hall Megaron, Sir Simon Rattle conducted a programme which takes us on a whistle-stop tour of Europe with works by Gioacchino Rossini, Robert Schumann and Jean Sibelius. The soloist is the Greek star violinist Leonidas Kavakos.
The founding of the Berlin Philharmonic on the 1 May 1882 is annually celebrated in a European city of cultural significance. In 2015 the May Europakonzert, a smash hit with the assembled audience, took place for the second time since 2004 in Athens, Greece, with Leonidas Kavakos joining the Berlin Philharmonic for the Sibelius Violin Concerto and Bachs Largo from the Sonata No. 3. Also heard were works by Rossini (Semiramide Overture) and Schumann (Symphony No. 3 in E-flat, Op. 97 Rhenish). Leonidas Kavakos won the Echo Klassik Award in 2013 as Instrumentalist of the Year.

Europakonzert 2012 from Vienna with Gustavo Dudamel and Gautier Capuçon
The Spanish Riding School in Vienna houses one of the world’s most unique institutions within a magnificent Baroque setting.
The Berliner Philharmoniker gave their annual Europakonzert here in 2012 under the direction of Gustavo Dudamel – with music from Austria, of course.
The main work was Beethoven’s revolutionary Fifth Symphony, while the brilliant soloist in Haydn’s First Cello Concerto was Gautier Capuçon, making his Philharmoniker debut.

In this 2011 Europakonzert from the Teatro Real in Madrid, Simon Rattle generates a lot of Spanish heat with works including Emmanuel Chabrier’s exuberant rhapsody España and Joaquín Rodrigo’s world famous Concierto de Aranjuez with the flamenco virtuoso Cañizares as the soloist. In an appealing contrast to these works, we also hear Sergei Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony, a piece full of Slavonic melancholy and an entrancingly wistful Adagio movement.

GBAs time has gone by in my collecting of Mahler on cd I have often been guided by the well known music critic ‘TD’. Most of the time TD proves invaluable in pointing the Mahler listener in the right direction but, on occasion, I have found myself disagreeing with him – and this is now the third time in which I must disagree. Anyone who has bothered to read through TD’s guide to Mahler recordings will already be aware just how dismissive he is regarding this recording by the BPO under Karajan’s baton, and it was that dismissiveness which led me to seek out other recordings first, in preference to this one. But, now that I have finally gotten around to purchasing this disc I feel compelled to review it, give it the five stars which it deserves, and say that I think TD was utterly wrong in being so dismissive of this recording. It may well be true that it is not ‘the greatest’ Fifth ever to be commited to disc but this is, nevertheless, a very fine reading indeed and sumptuously recorded / remastered by the sound engineers. It deserves to be amongst the other Fifth’s which you own and I, for one, look forward to giving it repeated listens.

For collectors of Claudio Abbado’s recordings, the performances on this three-discs Japanese Esoteric label’s remastered release of the Italian conductor’s digital recordings of Brahms’ symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker may seem redundant, since the symphonies were previously released as single discs in the late ’80s and early ’90s on Deutsche Grammophon. But this box set marks the first hybrid SACD release of historical recording selections. These new audio versions feature Esoteric’s proprietary re-mastering process to achieve the highest level of sound quality.

His interpretations, captured here, are lauded as brisk and rhythmically robust. These performances are warm and genial, with bold contrasts of dynamic and well-sprung rhythms, is that for the players as well as the conductor this was a voyage of discovery, and their enthusiasm never wanes.

Wilhelm Furtwängler & Berliner Philharmoniker – Schubert: Symphony No. 9 “The Great” (Remastered) (1942/2023)

The Symphony No. 9 in C major, D 944, known as The Great, is the final symphony completed by Franz Schubert. It was first published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1849 as “Symphonie / C Dur / für großes Orchester” and listed as Symphony No. 8 in the New Schubert Edition. Originally called The Great C major to distinguish it from his Symphony No. 6, the Little C major, the subtitle is now usually taken as a reference to the symphony’s majesty. Unusually long for a symphony of its time, a typical performance of The Great lasts around one hour when all repeats indicated in the score are taken. The symphony was not professionally performed until a decade after Schubert’s death in 1828.

The music of Unsuk Chin is a magical realm in which new perspectives are constantly unfolding. Labyrinths of novel sounds and complex structures can be followed by moments of transcendental beauty. For us as an orchestra, this world poses certain challenges — indeed, it is part of Unsuk Chin’s style to test the limits of performing techniques. Or, to put it another way, she lets us show off our strengths. Her inventiveness exemplifies the inexhaustible vitality of today’s music. These qualities have made Unsuk Chin one of few composers with whom we’ve collaborated so frequently and productively.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Warner Classics
The Karajan Official Remastered Edition comprises 13 box sets containing official remasterings of the finest recordings the Austrian conductor made for EMI between 1946 and 1984, and which are now a jewel of the Warner Classics catalogue.
For many, Herbert von Karajan (1908-1989) – hailed early in his career as ‘Das Wunder Karajan’ (The Karajan Miracle) and known in the early 1960s as ‘the music director of Europe’ – remains the ultimate embodiment of the maestro. The release of the Karajan Official Remastered Edition over the first half of 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the conductor’s death in July 1989 at the age of 81.
He was closely associated with EMI for the majority of his recording career (specifically from 1946 to 1960 and then again from 1969 to 1984). EMI’s legendary producer Walter Legge sought him out in Vienna just after World War II and the long relationship that ensued embraced recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Philharmonia (the orchestra founded by Legge), the Berlin Philharmonic (of which Karajan became ‘conductor for life’ in 1955), the forces of La Scala, Milan, and the Orchestre de Paris.
The Karajan Official Remastered Edition will feature primarily symphonic and choral music. The entire edition will comprise recordings remastered from the original sources in 24-bit/96kHz at Abbey Road Studios, the world’s most renowned recording studio.
