Europakonzert 2006 from Prague – with Daniel Barenboim

Berliner Philharmoniker

No city embodies the spirit of Central Europe more vibrantly than Prague, and no venue in Prague is more alive with history than the baroque Estates Theatre – the house for which Mozart wrote Don Giovanni. It makes an exquisite setting for the Berliner Philharmoniker's 2006 Europakonzert – an all-Mozart performance conducted by Daniel Barenboim. The "Haffner" and "Linz" symphonies are the twin cornerstones of the programme, but like Mozart himself, Barenboim also takes to the keyboard as soloist-director in the noble Piano Concerto No.22. And the orchestra's then-principal horn Radek Baborák steps forward as soloist in the First Horn Concerto: music-making of unbridled joy, from the very heart of Europe.
