About

The Berlin Philharmonic annual European Concerts are intended to recall the date on which the orchestra was founded, 1st May 1882, with a performance being given on this day in a different town or city of particular cultural and historical importance.

In 2002 it was the turn of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, one of Europe’s most important opera houses both artistically and architecturally. In a programme of much-loved pieces from the classical repertoire, with the celebrated Gil Shaham as soloist, Claudio Abbado once again demonstrated how he upheld the unsurpassed orchestral tradition of the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra with his profound music-making.

Viewers of this concert, broadcast all over Europe, were inspired to see the maestro so relaxed, gesticulating so emphatically. This was the last time in his 12 years as the orchestra’s artistic director that the revered Italian maestro conducted a European Concert.
