Work: Symphony no. 93 in D major

Richard Egarr conducts a pair of Haydn's London Symphonies and turns soloist in a piano concerto by Dussek.

If he could, would Beethoven have chosen Mitsuko Uchida to première his final piano concerto? They certainly seem to inhabit the same creative plane, at once revelling in the innovative – nay, revolutionary – features, whilst enjoying the grand connections with their historical precedents too.

Ob hypnotisch-süffisant oder robust-komisch – Schiff zauberte mit tiefenentspanntem, trockenem Humor Wesentliches und Faszinierendes am Fortepiano und Dirigentenpult hervor.
