From the Royal Albert Hall, London

Ives: Decoration Day (New England Holidays Symphony)
Bart贸k: Piano Concerto No. 2
Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, 'Eroica'

Yuja Wang (piano)
San Francisco Symphony
Michael Tilson Thomas (conductor)

Chinese virtuoso Yuja Wang is the soloist in Bart贸k's Second Piano Concerto - a work the composer intended to pose 'fewer difficulties for the orchestra' and to be 'more pleasing in its thematic material' than his First. Beethoven's emotionally charged 'Eroica' Symphony forms the second half - the ground-breaking symphony that would pave the way for the mighty Romantic works of Mahler and Bruckner. The concert opens with Charles Ives's atmospheric Decoration Day, inspired by his father's marching band.
