Season opening 2008: Simon Rattle conducts Brahms and Shostakovich
The Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle opened the 2008/09 season with two of the most different symphonies imaginable. On the one hand, Brahms’s Third, about which Clara Schumann wrote that one is “surrounded by the mysterious magic of life in the forest”, and on the other, the darkly aggressive Tenth Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich. The recording of this concert is the first to be made by the Digital Concert Hall team.
