It is now thirty years since Suntory Hall was opened in Tokyo. Each time that the Berliner Philharmoniker have visited the country during this time, they have appeared in a hall famous all over the world for its outstanding acoustics. In order to mark this anniversary we are presenting a recording of the concert that the orchestra gave in November 2000 with Mariss Jansons and the exceptionally gifted American violinist Hilary Hahn. On the programme are Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony and Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto.
The Berliner Philharmoniker is one of the world’s finest orchestras, its fame stretching all the way to Japan. Unsurprisingly, this 2000 concert, recorded at Tokyo’s magnificent Suntory Hall, was a resounding success. Mariss Jansons conducts a beautiful program that includes Antonin Dvorák’s Symphony No. 8, Carl Maria von Weber’s Overture to Oberon, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto featuring star violinist Hilary Hahn (*1979)
