RCO: Haitink Conducts Mozart & Bruckner featuring Mitsuko Uchida
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
•
1h 40m
For the first time in almost 35 years conductor laureate Bernard Haitink leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony. The composer himself considered this "die keckste" (the boldest) of all his symphonies, emphasizing the rhythm and dynamics instead of monumental construction. The premiere was conducted by Gustav Mahler in 1899, three years after Bruckner's death. Pianist Mitsuko Uchida performs Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23. In this work the woodwinds play a significant role and Mozart allows several melodies from the operas he was working on to seep in.

Venue: Concertgebouw Amsterdam
Orchestra: Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
