About this event
Lothar Koenigs conducts Bruckner鈥檚 hugely popular symphony, while Nicolas Hodges is soloist in the irrepressible German composer Wolfgang Rihm鈥檚 beautiful Second Piano Concerto.
The heartrending slow movement of Bruckner鈥檚 Seventh Symphony became a tribute to the composer鈥檚 idol, Wagner. Learning of Wagner鈥檚 death as he was completing the movement, Bruckner dedicated it 鈥榯o the memory of the late, deeply beloved and immortal Master鈥�. Wolfgang Rihm鈥檚 Piano Concerto No 2 (2014), already performed in Salzburg and Washington, creates not only witty interplay between soloist and orchestra, but beautifully detailed scoring of often ravishing delicacy.
