Work: Symphony no. 4 in C major

The Berlin Philharmonic gives a first half party before a dark Schmidt symphony. 

Yuja Wang brings brilliance to Prokofiev at the Philharmonie, but Petrenko's conducting of rarities by Dukas and Schmidt also prove richly rewarding.

The Italian conductor Fabio Luisi has become an increasingly familiar and welcome face to New York audiences. Recently appointed Principal Conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, he is primarily known here as an operatic conductor.
