Another classic concert this week. The Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Sir Colin Davis and featuring the legendary Russian Pianist Emil Gilels in a program of music by Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Sibelius.
Recorded on April 4, 1980 in Philharmonie Hall and re-broadcast by NPR as part of their International Concert Hall series, the concert rundown is thus:
Berlin Philharmonic Orch.
Sir Colin Davis, cond.
Emil Gilels, Piano
Recorded April 4, 1980
1. Berlioz: Overture to King Lear
2. Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 (w/Gilels)
3. Sibelius: Symphony No. 1
For an Anti-Road Rage Wednesday concert, should fill the bill quite nicely.
Enjoy.
Editors note: Special thanks to Stormy Hunter for catching our goof and the speed problem with this older master. In our haste we forgot to double-check it and Stormy helped us out. Go team!
