Soar to magnificent heights with majestic music by Strauss and Mozart. Roberto Abbado leads a richly hued program including Mozart’s overtly passionate Piano Concerto No. 24, performed by Inon Barnatan (who again steps in at a moment’s notice replacing Lars Vogt), hailed as “a pianist of uncommon sensitivity.” With its massive orchestral forces and cinematic quality, Strauss’ Alpine Symphony conjures an exhilarating climb through the Bavarian Alps in music the composer describes as “worship of eternal, magnificent nature.”
