1994 Europakonzert from Meiningen with Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim
Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim were friends from their student days. This recording from 1994 documents a joint performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 given in the beautifully restored Staatstheater in Meiningen. Hans von Bülow was once Kapellmeister there before he, as first chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, created the basis of the orchestra's international reputation.
