The Berliner Philharmoniker’s season-end concert at Waldbühne Berlin is the highlight of every concert season due to the extraordinary atmosphere of the amphitheatre. It has become a veritable Berlin summer institution, with its own traditions, primarily upheld by the audience, who turn up in high spirits and fully kitted out with picnic baskets and sparklers. And no matter whether it fits the program or not, no concert can end without a rendition of Paul Lincke\’s \”Berliner Luft\”, complete with audience participation.

The “Waldbühne – 20 Blu-ray Box” brings together many memorable moments and concert highlights from 1998 to 2022, featuring the Berliner Philharmoniker with conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Simon Rattle, Gustavo Dudamel, and Kirill Petrenko as well as soloists like Lang Lang, Lisa Batiashvili, Renée Fleming, Katia & Marielle Labèque, Wayne Marshall, Kirill Gerstein, and many others. The carefully curated box set is topped off with previously unreleased concerts like the 2020/21 season-end concert as well as the documentary “They Got Rhythm”.
