Berliner Philharmoniker LIVE: Summer Concert

Zubin Mehta conductor

Yefim Bronfman piano

Zubin Mehta and Yefim Bronfman have been artistic companions for many years –

Mehta was on the podium when Bronfman made his debut with the Berliner

Philharmoniker in 1983. During this programme, we will hear the two musicians in

Béla Bartók’s highly virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2, which alternates between

percussive force and refinement – an ideal work for Yefim Bronfman’s vigorous,

soulful playing. Zubin Mehta also conducts Peter Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Fourth

Symphony, which reveals the composer’s suffering to the world but also celebrates

the joys of life at the close.

Programme:

Béla Bartók Concerto for piano and orchestra, No.2

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 in F minor, op. 36
