Recorded in West Berlin in October 1979, this live album stands as a document of the only time Leonard Bernstein ever conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker. Described by Gramophone as “an extraordinary night,” the performance brings together a world class orchestra, a legendary conductor and one of Mahler’s greatest symphonies.
“Bernstein conducts a superb fourth movement. A red hot, searing delivery of this wonderful music … the Berliners play with mind-numbing power, strings especially encouraged to greater and greater levels of emotion by Bernstein … a testament to the man’s genius.” -MusicWeb International
