Europakonzert from Prague with Sir Simon Rattle and Magdalena Kožená
On 1 May 2013, the Berliner Philharmoniker – as in 1991 and 2006 – held their traditional Europakonzert in Prague. The venue on this occasion was the Czech capital’s famous medieval castle. Conducted by chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle, they performed Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, a work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Antonín Dvořák’s Biblical Songs with mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená in the castle’s sumptuous “Spanish Hall”.
