Werk: Konzert für 2 Klaviere und Orchester, Op.88a

Coupling a rare but underwhelming concerto by Max Bruch with Strauss's polychrome orchestral showpiece, the program with Semyon Bychkov and the sisters Labèque accentuated superlative musicianship.

The audience responded as if they were hearing the Symphony for the first time. They were overwhelmed and let the musicians know it. Good start to the home stand.

Semyon Bychkov dirige le Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam : avec un Concerto pour deux pianos de Bruch en première partie avec Katia et Marielle Labèque, c'est surtout la Symphonie n°5 de Chostakovich que l'on retiendra de ce concert.
