Interview
Karl-Heinz Steffens in conversation with Walter Seyfarth
Karl-Heinz Steffens conducts Beethoven, Zimmermann and Schubert
In October 2013, a former member of the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted the orchestra for the very first time: erstwhile principal clarinetist Karl-Heinz Steffens. The much applauded concert in this recording includes works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. “A strong programme for a strong debut,” as one critic summed up the evening.
