Synopsis

A dream of a line-up: Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez and the Vienna Philharmonic! Put one of the world´s greatest orchestras in the hand of one of the foremost specialists of 20th-century music, add a soloist who is one of today´s leading pianists and conductors, and you are assured of a concert of superlatives that pays glowing tribute to three major works of the past century. "The mutual affection felt by conductor and orchestra once again made for captivating results. Even without dancers, the music danced." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
