Live from the Barbican, London

Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor and Mahler's Symphony No. 7 in E minor with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ji艡铆 B臅lohl谩vek

Mozart the Great Romantic? That's how he was described in the 19th century, and anyone hearing the stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 will see why. Next to that, parts of Mahler's Seventh Symphony seem sunny and light-hearted. But there are shadowy moments too, a Scherzo that's like wind through trees at night, and at the beginning the strangest funeral march ever penned.
