Stanisław Skrowaczewski – a life in music (20 min.)

After 25 years, the 87-year-old Stanisław Skrowaczewski stood once again at the desk of the Berliner Philharmoniker at the end of May 2011 – and celebrated an “overwhelming success met by standing ovations” (Berliner Zeitung). The renowned Bruckner expert included the composer’s Third Symphony in the programme: Bruckner’s first fully-fledged Symphony and the only one whose premiere the composer conducted himself.
