They are two international stars from Argentina, who have known each other since childhood: Martha Argerich and Daniel Barenboim. Now they are appearing together with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time. The programme includes Robert Schumann, one of Martha Argerich’s favourite composers. His Piano Concerto is one of the pianist’s showpieces – as it allows her to display her unrivalled expressiveness and virtuosity. Daniel Barenboim will also conduct Johannes Brahms’ Second Symphony, which is considered one of the most beautiful symphonies of the Romantic period thanks to its idyllic, pastoral character.
