Bruckner's Sixth: Staatskapelle Berlin, Barenboim at Philharmonie de Paris

Lo spettacolo

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.

Barenboim begins the evening with Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 26, played at the coronation of Leopold II, with its interplay of virtuosity and gallantry between pianist and orchestra. Bruckner's Sixth Symphony completes the program somewhat‐neglected, it is essential to understanding Bruckner's oeuvre in this genre, forming a pivot point between the early symphonies and the inevitable progression towards the majestic final three.
