Bruckner's Fifth, Mozart Piano Concerto No. 27 : Staatskapelle Berlin, Daniel Barenboim at Philharmonie de Paris

About the Event

Marvel at the perfection of both music and musicians as Daniel Barenboim leads the Berlin Staatskapelle in the 'middle period' symphonies of Bruckner, as part of their commitment to play the complete symphonies at the Philharmonie de Paris over the course of a year. Acclaimed from his early youth as a Mozartian par excellence, with maturity Barenboim has become the greatest of all Brucknerians, and pairs these two composers in a series not to be missed.

A fitting pair of works tonight as Barenboim plays Mozart's last, and greatest, piano concerto to begin the evening. Bruckner's massive Fifth Symphony continues the theme of greatness, showcasing the triumph of the cyclical principle, as its opening motif — the plaint of a desolate wanderer — returns to begin the overwhelming final movement.
