Berliner Philharmoniker Live 2016: The Season Opening

Sir Simon Rattle wields the conductor’s baton for the orchestra’s opening concert, which is broadcast live from the stage of The Berliner Philharmonie. Tonight’s impassioned programme includes the first version of Pierre Boulez’s Eclat for 15 instruments, which was composed in 1965, followed by Gustav Mahler’s epic Symphony No 7, which incorporates the sounds of cowbells, a guitar and a mandolin.
