Our second
Berliner
Philharmoniker
concert sees the
return of a
distinguished pianist
in one of the most
formidable
of piano concertos.
Without sounding
as challenging as its
predecessor,
Brahms’s Second
Piano Concerto is even bigger
in scale and bristles with technical difficulties.
Lutosławski wrote his Third Symphony
for another great orchestra, the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra of the Solti era.
Completed in the early 1980s in troubled times
for the composer’s native Poland, it combines
experimental techniques with craftsmanship,
conviction and lyricism.
