Performance NotesOur second Berliner Philharmoniker concert sees the return of a distinguished pianist
in one of the most formidable of piano concertos. Without sounding as challenging as its predecessor, Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto is even bigger in scale and bristles with technical difficulties.

Lutoslawski wrote his Third Symphony for another great orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra of the Solti era. Completed in the early 1980s in troubled times for the composer’s native Poland, it combines experimental techniques with craftsmanship, conviction and lyricism.

The appearance of the Berliner Philharmoniker has been made possible with the support of Deutsche Bank.
