Yannick Nézet-Séguin & Seong-Jin Cho: Bruckner & Beethoven

Yannick Nézet-Séguin continues his Bruckner series with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra with the rousing "Romantic" Symphony No. 4, a popular favourite among the Austrian composer's nine symphonies. The first half of the concert, meanwhile, sees Seong-Jin Cho return to the festival to perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3, a work that begins in characteristically dramatic C Minor but dissolves, at the close, into scintillating C major – and an ideal showcase for the South Korean pianist's gifts. With top-quality orchestral playing guaranteed with the hand-picked Lucerne Festival Orchestra, this promises to be a concert to remember.
