Bruckner Symphony No. 4, ‘Romantic’

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Daniel Harding, conductor

In their second and final concert at the 2022 Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Daniel Harding play Bruckner's Symphony No. 4, ‘Romantic’. First, they support Tabea Zimmermann – whose playing is, in the words of The Strad, of ‘breathtaking beauty’ – as she rediscovers a Cold War classic: the intense melancholy and sardonic humour of the Viola Concerto, written in 1985 by the Russian dissident composer Alfred Schnittke. It couldn’t find more committed champions.
