Strauss’ Towering Alpine Symphony 2024-2025
Bruce Liu performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, with Richard Strauss’ expansive Alpine Symphony completing this program conducted by Rafael Payare.
For his return to the Maison symphonique, Bruce Liu will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, known for its intensity and profound expressiveness. In contrast to this, the vast soundscape of Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony evokes the colossal grandeur of the Bavarian Alps. Iman Habibi reflects upon the climate crisis by placing his Jeder Baum spricht in perspective with Beethoven’s 5th and 6th symphonies.
