This titanic performance of Busoni’s 70-minute concerto was riveting, but exhausting to hear. It was preceded by a sparkling reading of Haydn’s “Military” Symphony.

Sakari Oramo returned to Symphony Hall to lead Sibelius' Symphony no. 3 in C major and Busoni’s rarely performed, grandiose Concerto in C for Piano, Orchestra and Men’s Chorus with Kirill Gerstein.
