Zubin Mehta conducts Pierrot Lunaire

Synopsis

Each of the 21 miniatures has its own sound colour by the instruments employed: flute, clarinet, piano, violin and cello. Under the among them Mojca Erdmann, Daniel and Michael Barenboim, perform in the concentrated studio-like atmosphere of the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin.
