Vienna New and Old: The Bamberg Symphony at Lincoln Center

Tradition reborn with thrilling clarity: Jakub Hrůša’s Bambergers light up Seoul: Wagner’s shimmering overture, Bomsori Kim’s impassioned Bruch, and a lucid yet explosive Beethoven Seventh. 

Brahms and Dvořák were colleagues, rivals and friends... and the Bamberg Symphony can lay claim to both. 

In his Carnegie Hall debut, the young Czech conductor leads a meaty and memorable program of Brahms and Wagner, with joined by Hélène Grimaud for Robert Schumann’s sole Piano Concerto.

Visiting the Philharmonie de Paris, the Bavarian orchestra and their chief conductor deliver a legendary Mahler 9.

The Bamberg Symphony returns to its roots with Jakub Hrůša conducting high-energy gems from the Czech repertoire.

Despite extraordinary legato singing and transparent text work, Christian Gerharer offered an oddly mannered interpretation of the Rückert-Lieder.
