Pierre-Laurent Aimard in conversation with Emmanuel Pahud
Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto with Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Jiří Bělohlávek
For Jiří Bělohlávek, the Berliner Philharmoniker were simply “the best orchestra in Europe”. In 2010, he made a guest appearance at the Philharmonie together with pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. In addition to a suite from Janáček’s opera From the House of the Dead and Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, the concert included Arnold Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto – a work that shows just how colourful, lively and un-cerebral twelve-tone music can be.
