Haitink and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

大象传媒 Proms 2020

Murray Perahia joins Bernard Haitink and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a contrasting programme of Mozart and Shostakovich from the 大象传媒 Proms 2008.

In 2020, 大象传媒 Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats, from the past and the present, in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts.

Murray Perahia and Bernard Haitink have a musical rapport that has given us countless magnificent performances. This performance from the 大象传媒 Proms in 2008 saw Perahia return to the Proms, following a gap of 20 years, to perform one of Mozart's greatest piano concertos.

It was while writing his Fourth Symphony that Shostakovich was denounced in a newspaper article entitled 鈥楳uddle Instead of Music鈥�. He continued composing the work in private, but it had to wait 25 years 鈥� beyond the death of Stalin 鈥� before it was first heard in public, in 1961.
