The famous yearly Berliner Philharmoniker Open-Air concert at the Berlin Waldbühne is attended by more than 20,000 people. The atmosphere is unique and unconventionally relaxed. People bring champagne, salmon and caviar, making the Waldbühne a giant picnic area. Candles are lit, transforming the area into an atmospheric venue for some of the most popular pieces of classical music.

The 2009 programme has a Russian feel to it, with classic pieces by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky: three pieces of the core repertoire, and among the most popular ones.

Yefim Bronfman, artist of international reputation and specialist of the Russian repertoire, achieves a brilliant performance of the 3rd Piano Concerto by Rachmaninov.

Romantic, different and relaxed, this is a superb summer night in Berlin - not only for fans of classical music.

Recorded live at Waldbühne Berlin, 21 June 2009.
