The famous yearly Berliner Philharmoniker Open-Air concert at the Berlin Waldbuhne attended by more than 20,000 people. The atmosphere is unique and unconventionally relaxed. People bring champagne, salmon and caviar, making the Waldbuhne a giant picnic area. Candles are lit, transforming the area into an atmospheric venue for some of the most popular pieces of classical music. The 2009 programme has a Russian feel to it, with classic pieces by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky; three pieces of the core repertoire, among the most popular ones. Yefim Bronfman, artist of international reputation, and specialist of the Russian repertoire, achieves a brilliant performance of this 3rd Concerto of Rachmaninoff. Romantic, different, and relaxed, this is a superb summer night in Berlin - not only for fans of classical music. The first Blu ray Disc of Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker on EuroArts
