“Rhythm and Dance” with Kent Nagano and Susan Graham at the Waldbühne
The theme of the Berliner Philharmoniker’s 2000 Waldbühne concert was Rhythm and Dance. Kent Nagano assembled a number of popular works by George Gershwin alongside Maurice Ravel’s La Valse and the Second Suite from Daphnis et Chloé plus a lesson in the Japanese art of drumming to create a summer evening’s concert remarkable for its verve and virtuosity. Guest stars included the American mezzo-soprano Susan Graham and the legendary Japanese drummer Eitetsu Hayashi.
