Radu Lupu and the Berlin Philharmonic
Bernard Haitink conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in Strauss's An Alpine Symphony and, with Radu Lupu, Mozart's Piano Concerto No 17 in G, K453.
Another chance to hear this concert recorded at the Philharmonie, Berlin, in November 2002, as a tribute to legendary Romanian pianist Radu Lupu who died in April at the age of 76.
Radu Lupu established himself early on in his career as one of the major pianists of his time after winning three international piano competitions: Van Cliburn, George Enescu and Leeds. Notoriously reclusive, Lupu's concerts were not-to-be-missed events, his performances characterised by integrity, vision and imagination. He's ideally partnered here with Bernard Haitink in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17, with its typically Mozartian combination of joyousness and melancholy. Haitink ends with an orchestral tour de force, Richard Strauss's vivid portrayal of an epic day in the mountains.
