A “St Petersburg Night” with Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta at the Waldbühne
This concert sees the meeting of two musicians who have enjoyed an unusually long friendship with each other and with the orchestra: Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta. In glorious weather and against an atmospheric backdrop at the Waldbühne, they presented an evening of Russian music ranging from Glinka to Rimsky-Korsakov with the theme of a “Saint Petersburg Night”. Barenboim, a pianist rarely seen in the Russian repertoire, shone in Tchaikovsky’s famous First Piano Concerto.
