New Year’s Eve Concert with Simon Rattle, Thomas Quasthoff and Pauline Malefane

For his third New Year’s Eve Concert as chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2008 Sir Simon Rattle set out to explore the history of 20th-century American music. At the head of an orchestra described by the Berlin press as “the best big band in the world”, he conducted works by Gershwin, Barber, Copland and Adams with powerful vocal support from Thomas Quasthoff and the South African soprano Pauline Malefane.
