Mozart and Schmidt from the Berlin Philharmonic and Evgeny Kissin

Evgeny Kissin joins the Berlin Philharmonic for Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 23 and the orchestra then plays Franz Schmidt's Symphony no. 2 and a Sinfonia by Marianne von Mart脥nez.

Evgeny Kissin joins the Berlin Philharmonic for a famous piano concerto by Mozart before the orchestra embarks on a rare performance of a symphony by Franz Schmidt, at one time, one of the most respected musicians in Vienna.

The fabled orchestra plays the Second Symphony by Franz Schmidt, a cellist, pianist and teacher admired by Mahler and Schoenberg and once one of the leading lights in Viennese music. His music is heavily influenced by Bruckner, Reger and the young Schoenberg, not least in the vast forces required, and which promise to fill the stage of the Philharmonie for this performance, recorded earlier this month. Before that the star-pianist, Evgeny Kissin renews his relationship with an orchestra with which he made his debut at the age of nineteen - under Herbert von Karajan. And the concert opens with a short sinfonia by Marianne Mart脥nez, a favourite pupil of Haydn, and an important figure in European musical life in the time of Mozart.
