MOZART / BRUCKNER Concert

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Pianist and conductor Kristian Bezuidenhout will make his Boston Philharmonic debut playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20.

Bruckner symphonies have not appeared often on BPO programs, but every performance of one of them has proved to be a major and unforgettable event. The Philharmonic's performance of the Fifth Symphony several seasons ago is still talked about in Boston's musical community. The incomparably lyrical Seventh Symphony has always been the most popular of the Bruckner symphonies - the symphony guaranteed to make converts out of people who think they don't like Bruckner. It is filled with yearning, joy, and love. And heartache, too, in the sublime slow movement, which contains a memorial to Wagner, who died during its composition.
