Herbert Blomstedt on Bruckner’s Symphony No. 3
Herbert Blomstedt and Maria João Pires
Anton Bruckner’s Third Symphony has the same organ-like power as his later works – but is still overshadowed by them. Bruckner himself was never entirely satisfied with the symphony and revised it several times. This concert conducted by Herbert Blomstedt offers a rare opportunity to discover the first version. Maria João Pires, famous for her sensitive touch, opens the programme with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23.
