Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto

In 1992, Daniel Barenboim and Itzhak Perlman gave four concerts with the Berliner Philharmoniker at the Schauspielhaus am Gendarmenmarkt – the orchestra’s temporary home at the time, as the Philharmonie Berlin had to be extensively renovated. The two programmes featured the violin concertos by Beethoven and Brahms. They were each complemented by less familiar works, and so on the first two evenings Liszt’s rarely performed Dante Symphony formed a delightful contrast to Beethoven’s classic of the violin repertoire.
