Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner's unfinished Ninth Symphony. Lars Vogt joins them in a performance of Beethoven's First Piano Concerto.

In Concert from Amsterdam. Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner and Beethoven.
The great Latvian-born conductor enjoyed a decade as the orchestra's chief conductor and he is heard here in one of the great Romantic works for which he was held in such high regard. He brings a luminous grandeur to Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony. The composer implored: 鈥淟et me be well, I need my health to finish the Ninth,鈥 but he died with the work unfinished. It ends with one of the most poignant adagios in all music. The concert opens with Lars Vogt playing Beethoven in classical mode: all grace and charm and this famous orchestra matches his every move.
