This concert recording from May 2001 is a rare and historic document, giving insight into the characters of both interpreters: here the seasoned, highly experienced conductor – there the still-young, but already internationally recognised and sought-after pianist. No matter how critics assessed Paavo Berglund and Olli Mustonen’s appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic and the performances they gave together – anyone who had experienced this concert, was witness to an unforgettable, exceptional and exciting evening and the thought-provoking encounter of two very different musical personalities.
