András Schiff kicks off his season-long focus on Bartók with the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer, who together perform not one but two of the composer’s piano concertos. One is part of a group of pieces Bartók wrote in the mid-1920s to expand his piano repertoire; the other was completed shortly before he died in 1945 for his pianist wife.

Together, Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra perform Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony with “a white-knuckle tension and a real sense of a wild and tragic story recounted with enthralling detail, vivid color, and pace” (The Times, London). With Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto, performed by pianist Emanuel Ax, also on the program, this will be an evening of epic proportions.
