Info
The Fifth Symphony is a work with which Anton Bruckner fought for public recognition. In it, he reveals himself to be a gifted musical architect, bringing together voluptuous melodies, solemn chorales and sophisticated contrapuntal structures to create a symphonic monument. Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time. Víkingur Ólafsson performs the solo part of Robert Schumann’s piano concerto, which transports the audience into a romantic sound world.
