Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Concerto for 2 pianos and orchestra, 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.
