Esa-Pekka Salonen & Yefim Bronfman

Season Finale: Composed over four turbulent years, Robert Schumann’s only piano concerto, here performed by Yefim Bronfman, features a lustrous intermezzo, blazing bravura passages, and encoded tributes to the composer’s wife, muse, and finest interpreter. Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony, the “Romantic,” was his first major composition to earn real applause. Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts.
