¡De fábula…!

leadingtone:

Beethoven
Piano Concerto Nº. 3 in C minor, Op. 37
I. Allegro con brio
II. Largo
III. Rondo: Allegro

Alfred Brendel, piano

Anton Bruckner
Symphony Nº. 7 in E major
I. Allegro moderato
II. Adagio
III. Scherzo: Sehr schnell
IV. Finale: Bewegt, doch nicht schnell

Lucerne Festival Orchestra
Claudio Abbado, cond.

One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen of both works. Brendel at the keyboard, Abbado on the podium, and is that Sabine Meyer on principal clarinet? I believe it is.
