This release forms part of the celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the Berlin Philharmonic, capturing an evening of Spanish music and themes recorded live in 2001 in the unique atmosphere of the Philharmonic's annual open-air summer concert at the Waldbühne, Berlin, a major event in the city's social calendar.
World-famous tenor Placido Domingo conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in works which have always been particularly close to his heart. The concert features fabulous violinist Sarah Chang performing virtuosic showpieces such as Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy and Zigeunerweisen. The programme also includes a collection of delightful zarzuela arias sung by Ana Maria Martinez, winner of the Placido Domingo Vocal Competition in Barcelona.
