While Robert Schumann was composing his Symphony No. 2, he was grappling with profound mental struggles at the same time. Yet within this work, his resilience and rich creative spirit shine through, earning the symphony the distinction of being a deeply personal “Fate Symphony.”
Bartók's Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion has its roots in his 1937 Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion. Three years later, Bartók reimagined the piece to include orchestral accompaniment, crafting an intricate interplay between two pianos and percussion that produces a sonic landscape unlike any heard before.
Leading this extraordinary performance is Russian conductor Vassily Sinaisky, gold medalist in the 1973 Karajan Conducting Competition and internationally acclaimed for his interpretations of Russian and German-Austrian repertoire. Joining him are Dutch pianists Lucas and Arthur Jussen, whose vibrant artistry brings a fresh, youthful energy to Bartók's iconic masterpiece.
