Bernard Haitink and Leif Ove Andsnes about making music in the name of Fukushima Bernard Haitink and Leif Ove Andsnes perform Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto
In this concert, Leif Ove Andsnes, the Philharmoniker’s 2010/11 Pianist in Residence, performs Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto with Bernard Haitink. For many, the work is the epitome of heavyweight late Romanticism – but in Andsnes’s hands, a delicate tone emerges from the thunderous keyboard playing. The programme also features Witold Lutosławski’s highly imaginative and intensely atmospheric Fourth Symphony.
