Martin Helmchen is perfect for the dazzling Concerto No.26, one of Mozart’s most strenuous workouts for a solo pianist. Kazuki leads the orchestra in Bruckner’s stirring Symphony No.9 in the year that marks his 200th birthday. It remained unfinished at his death, but its three mighty movements are a powerful final statement from this uniquely brilliant composer.
