Murray Perahia and Bernard Haitink have a musical rapport that has given us countless magnificent performances. Tonight they are reunited - as Perahia returns to the Proms following a gap of 20 years - in one of Mozart's greatest piano concertos.
It was while writing his Fourth Symphony that Shostakovich was denounced in an article entitled 'Muddle instead of music'. He continued composing in private, though the work had to wait 25 years - beyond the death of Stalin - before it was first heard, in 1961.
- Mozart Piano Concerto No.24 in C minor, K491 (30 mins)
- Interval
- Shostakovich Symphony No.4 in C minor (67 mins)
