About This Event

Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 is as vividly colourful as the composer’s original scenario for the work (later withdrawn) with its knights, maidens, hunting and dancing. In their second and final concert at the 2022 Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Proms, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Daniel Harding explore a symphony subtitled the ‘Romantic’ by the composer himself and one that draws deeply on the German Romantic tradition of Weber and Wagner. First they support Tabea Zimmermann – whose playing is, in the words of The Strad, of ‘breathtaking beauty’ – as she rediscovers another Cold War classic: the intense melancholy and sardonic humour of the Viola Concerto, written in 1985 by the Russian dissident composer Alfred Schnittke. It couldn’t find more committed champions.
