1994 Europakonzert from Meiningen with Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim
Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim, although friends since their student days and long-time artistic neighbours in Berlin, rarely performed together. The 1994 Europakonzert documents one of these rare occasions with a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 – in the beautifully restored Meiningen Theatre, where Hans von Bülow once worked as kapellmeister before laying the foundations for the orchestra’s international fame as the first chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
