"The Berlin Philharmonic hosts an annual outside concert at the Waldbühne (an immense outdoor venue nestled in a natural valley) in Berlin." Here we will have Daniel Barenboim conducting the Latin America Concert 1998. The opening music for the event is RAVEL (1875 – 1937) Bolero (1928). I hope you enjoy; It is a great performance by Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/Daniel Barenboim.

"This concert is a little different, in that instead of the outwardly popular repertoire chosen for other years, this one, having the Argentinean conductor Daniel Barenboim at the helm, is primarily made up of short works from a variety of his compatriots. One of two of the pieces are reasonably well known, but the majority do not see the light of day very often, particularly in Europe. To have an orchestra of the calibre of the Berlin Philharmonic in top form, performing these pieces is a constant joy and the fact that they, their conductor, and particularly the audience, seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves throughout the programme is the mark of a good outing for this repertoire.
The concert starts with Ravel’s Bolero. It makes its usual impact on the audience and receives a tremendous reception. Barenboim then leads the orchestra in a very bracing performance of the first suite from Carmen, also very well received. The interval is then followed by the second half of the concert, made up of various South American pieces."
