Tue 1 Apr 2008 7:30pm at Symphony Hall
Starting with a lament for a lost musical hero, and ending in a blaze of glory, Louis Langrée’s latest programme with the CBSO traces a compelling emotional journey. Beethoven’s Fifth is of course one of the most familiar pieces of classical music ever composed, yet its headlong motion and inescapable sense of fate ‘knocking on the door’ still have the power to shock us even 200 years after it burst, kicking and screaming, into the world. The last and most popular of Bartók’s piano concertos is played by Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger, and the concert begins with a gripping early work by Lutoslawski.
