Album Description

On 31 December 2007 the Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle rang in the New Year with a Silvesterkonzert in Berlin's Philharmonie. The repertoire consists of Mussorgsky's ever-popular Pictures at an Exhibition and the Symphony No.2 and Polovtsian Dances by Borodin. The gala concert was broadcast by television stations in Germany, Austria and Japan. EMI Classics microphones were on hand to record the festive occasion with the resulting CD and downloads to be available in January, within two weeks of the event. The downloads, which include the Prelude to Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina as a digital exclusive track, may be pre-ordered from Christmas. A video diary following the making of the recording will be accessible via the album minisite from December.

In a career spanning more than thirty years, Simon Rattle has distinguished himself through his long-term relationships with a number of orchestras, wide-ranging repertoire and innovative educational and audience-building activities. He is Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Berliner Philharmoniker, as well as Principal Artist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. He is a Founding
