Pierre Boulez conducts two historic performances taken from the orchestra’s archives. We open with Berg’s concert aria, Der Wein (The Wine) with Jessye Norman as soloist. That’s followed by a performance of the Symphony No. 3 by Mahler featuring mezzo-soprano Yvonne Milton with the Camerata Singers and the combined Boys’ Choirs from Little Church Around the Corner, Trinity Church and the Brooklyn Boys’ Choir.
