Every summer, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra holds a summer concert of music guaranteed to please the crowds at the outdoor countryside venue of Waldbühne, a few miles outside Berlin.
Based on the amphitheater in the ancient Greek city of Epidaurus, and nestled in a natural valley, the Waldbuhne theater seats 22,000 in leafy comfort and remains one of Berlin's favorite open air concert venues, with magnificent views of the stage. World class conductors lead the Berlin Philharmonic in evening concerts of popular Italian, French, Russian and American favorites.
This is a recording of the concert from 1994, conducted by Mariss Jansons. The lively programme includes Suppé's spirited Light Cavalry Overture; delightful waltzes by two very different Strausses, Richard and Johann the younger; Smetana's bustling overture from his landmark work, the folksy Bartered Bride; Liszt's stern and sweeping Hungarian Rhapsody No 2; Brahms's whirling piece in a similarly 'gypsy' vein, the Hungarian Dance No 5; and Dvorak's exuberant Slavonic Dance No 1, the first of the works whose energy irresistible appeal established the struggling young Czech as a major international composer.
