The Berliner Philharmoniker and Claudio Abbado mark the end of the millennium with a concert programme like few others: a series of some of the most rousing and exciting finales from works ranging from Beethoven's thrilling Seventh Symphony to Schoenberg's massive early cantata, Gurrelieder, featuring actor Klaus Maria Brandauer in the role of speaker. The rest of the programme looks back to lighter music from the turn of the 20th century, including Paul Lincke's celebratory Berliner Luft – what better way to ring in the new century?
