Sir Simon Rattle and Dianne Reeves at the 2003 New Year’s Eve Concert
“Ravel meets Gershwin” was the theme of the 2003 New Year’s Eve concert with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle, full of swing, rhythm and sophistication. Guest star was the jazz diva Dianne Reeves, who sang Gershwin evergreens such as ’S Wonderful and Embraceable You. Ravel, in turn was represented by two highly virtuoso orchestral works: La Valse and the Daphnis et Chloé-Suite No. 2.
