On 4 September 1824 - exactly 200 years ago to the day - Anton Bruckner was born. That calls for a celebration! The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, which once gave Bruckner his major breakthrough by performing the world premiere of the Seventh Symphony, will be there to pay homage. The Gewandhaus Orchestra was also the first orchestra in the world to perform a complete cycle of Bruckner’s symphonies, and this tradition continues to the present day. Under its current director, the Latvian Andris Nelsons, the orchestra has just released all of them (including “No. 0”) on CD, earning the highest critical accolades. The Leipzig orchestra has chosen Bruckner’s Sixth, which the composer himself described as his “boldest,” for the anniversary season. Indeed, it combines spirituality and motoric energy, polyrhythms and languorous lines, nonchalance and Wagnerian reminiscences — an audacious mixture indeed! But beforehand we will hear Mozart’s triumphant Piano Concerto in C major, K. 503, with none other than the Russian poet-pianist Daniil Trifonov as the soloist. His interpretation of the Schumann Concerto last summer was a revelation. Let’s keep it going!
