Christoph Eschenbach leads the New York Philharmonic in compositions by German composers from the 20th century to present day. The center of the program includes star violinist Pinchas Zukerman in Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto – the composer’s only concerto for the instrument, and his final completed work. Also on the program is Matthias Pintscher’s towards Osiris (2008), and a Schoenberg orchestration of Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25.
