About This Event

Daniel Barenboim and his Staatskapelle Berlin open three consecutive evenings in which a Mozart piano concerto is paired with a Bruckner symphony. 鈥榃e shall never be able to do anything like that,鈥� proclaimed Beethoven when he heard Mozart鈥檚 dramatic, minor-key Piano Concerto No. 24.

As with Mozart in his concertos, with each of Bruckner鈥檚 symphonies came a keener focus of vision and honing of craft. With the Fourth, Bruckner really came of age, bringing a newfound confidence in the glowing first movement, while its statuesque Andante is a moving premonition of loss.
