INTERVAL
Symphony No.9 in D Minor, Bruckner |
| Performance Notes | Murray Perahia and Bernard Haitink have a long-standing musical rapport, most recently demonstrated at the Proms in 2008. Tonight they are reunited in Beethovens most daringly personal concerto, remarkable for its outer tenderness and underlying intensity.
After the interval, Bruckners symphonic swansong is performed by the ensemble he himself considered the most superior, under a conductor who helped reignite contemporary interest in this profoundly spiritual music. Haitink gives the Ninth in its three-movement form, ending as its great Adagio fades into silence, seemingly on the verge of the inexpressible.
