Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner's unfinished Ninth Symphony. Lars Vogt joins them in a performance of Beethoven's First Piano Concerto.

In Concert from Amsterdam. Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner and Beethoven.
The great Latvian-born conductor enjoyed a decade as the orchestra's chief conductor and he is heard here in one of the great Romantic works for which he was held in such high regard. He brings a luminous grandeur to Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony. The composer implored: 鈥淟et me be well, I need my health to finish the Ninth,鈥� but he died with the work unfinished. It ends with one of the most poignant adagios in all music. The concert opens with Lars Vogt playing Beethoven in classical mode: all grace and charm and this famous orchestra matches his every move.
