Carlos Miguel Prieto, conductor Philippe Quint, violin Brahms: Haydn Variations Errollyn Wallen: Violin Concerto Sibelius: Symphony No. 2
Darko Butorac, conductor Terrence Wilson, piano Iconic, legendary, epic — the Emperor stands alone as an unrivaled titan among concertos. With his fifth and final piano concerto, Beethoven goes beyond the traditions of his early inspirations and ultimately crafts an innovative and epic masterpiece that surpasses his predecessors’ wildest dreams. Sharing the program with Beethoven is one such early inspiration: C.P.E. Bach. Son of J.S. Bach and a master in his own right, C.P.E. Bach left a huge impact on future generations, including Beethoven. Rounding out the program is Brahms, the man perhaps most preoccupied with Beethoven’s legacy. As Beethoven’s de facto successor, Brahms revered, grappled with, and eventually transcended his idol’s legacy through his magnificent symphonies. C.P.E. Bach: Symphony in D Major Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor” Brahms: Symphony No. 3
