The founding of the Berliner Philharmoniker on the first of May in 1882 is annually celebrated with a concert in a European city of cultural significance. For this newly released EUROPAKONZERT Blu-ray Disc all recordings were lovingly restored and converted to High Definition video. Maestro Zubin Mehta was awarded the Presidential Medal of Distinction for his unique contribution to Israeli culture. Sarah Chang has not only received the Royal Philharmonic Award for Young Artist and the Gramophone Award among others, but she was also the youngest person to receive the Hollywood Bowl’s Hall of Fame award. The concert took place at the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. The BD is enhanced by an enticing documentary.
