Live from London's Barbican Centre
Presented by Martin Handley
There are some partnerships of soloist and conductor that guarantee something special and the combination of Maria Joao Pires and Bernard Haitink is certainly one of them. Together with the London Symphony Orchestra they tackle Mozart's Piano Concerto No.27. Then Haitink, one of the world's great Bruckner interpreters, conducts the Austrian composer's glorious 4th Symphony, inspired by a medieval hunting scene. From its gentle opening, shimmering strings and horns sounding as if from afar, to its rustic finale Bruckner builds his own very special musical landscape.
