The 2011 New Year’s Eve Concert with Simon Rattle and Evgeny Kissin
To mark the end of 2011 in the Berlin Philharmonie, Simon Rattle conducted dance music of a particularly discerning kind by Dvořák, Grieg, Ravel, Strauss, Stravinsky and Brahms. There was also a highlight for all piano fans: Grieg’s Piano Concerto with Evgeny Kissin – one of the great musical personalities of the present day who combines the sonority and soul of the old Russian piano school with taut vigour and intelligent shaping.
