As part of the Bruckner festival in 2014, Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in a series of symphonies, each paired with a classical solo concerto.

One hundred years after Beethoven had written the Piano Concerto, Bruckner concluded his monumental symphonic oeuvre with the unfinished Ninth Symphony, leaving behind three completed movements and sketches for a finale in 1896, the year in which he died.
