Witness the star power of pianist Mitsuko Uchida in Beethoven’s third (and darkest) piano concerto with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. ‘Here, time becomes space’ ... music can offer purpose; and for Wagner, Beethoven and Bruckner, it held the key to existence itself. Tonight, Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto is played by the great Mitsuko Uchida: an artist who has devoted a whole lifetime to her art, yet always has something fresh and beautiful to say. LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski begins with the Prelude to Wagner’s transcendent final opera, and ends with Bruckner’s majestic Seventh Symphony. The symphony is a requiem to Wagner whose opening, it is said, came to Bruckner in a dream, played by an angel. And when you hear it performed live, that’s easy to believe.
