An All-Mozart Programme with Daniel Barenboim in his familiar dual role as soloist and conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, featuring two masterpieces of the Mozart repertoire, the “Haffner” and “Linz” Symphonies.

This DVD was recorded in the Mozart Year 2006 at the Estates Theatre Prague, one of the most beautiful historical theatres in Europe. Part of its charm, magic and value lies in its historical significance. It was here that, in 1787, Mozart conducted the premier of Don Giovanni, a work written specially for Prague. The Berlin Philharmonic sit onstage in a reconstruction of the sets that had been used at the first performance of Don Giovanni.

“Barenboim leads the Piano Concerto No.22, K.482 from the keyboard, along with conducting the Symphony No.36 (“Linz”) and the First Horn Concerto. Barenboim’s deep, ringing tone is heard to fine effect, and viewers get a rare moment of classical humor when he cues the first violins with a wink and grin at the end of the concerto’s first movement.” - Time out Chicago, 2006
