Work: Concerto for viola and orchestra

Stepping in for Kirill Petrenko, Daniel Harding conducts the Berlin Phil's “army of generals” in an unfussy Bruckner Four, while Tabea Zimmermann plays Schnittke's Viola Concerto.

Tatjana Masurenko played Schnittke's haunting and intriguing Viola Concerto with virtuosity and feeling, plus a powerful Tchaikovsky 4 and some surprising Shostakovich.

Teodor Currentzis, on tour with the SWR Symphony Orchestra, pairs two Russian masterpieces written a century apart: Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and Schnittke's Viola Concerto with Antoine Tamestit.
