The Czech Phil: Live in Your Living Room II
The Czech Philharmonic's second Advent concert, this time conducted by Manfred Honeck at the Prague Rudolfinum. Excerpts from Griegs popular music for »Peer Gynt« open the program. It is followed by Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor no. 20 with Rudolf Buchbinder – a turning point in the history of the genre. It is considered to be Mozart's first symphonic piano concerto, the point at which his music takes on a personal dimension. The dramatic way the independent orchestral passages alternate with the piano is almost romantic. The famous second movement with its melodic, straightforward beauty seems to bring time to a standstill. It's a development which points the way towards Beethoven, whose first symphony brings this concert to a close.
Rudolf Buchbinder appears by kind permission of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft.
A production from Czech Philharmonic in cooperation with EuroArts.
