Emperor Concerto

Bartók and Beethoven: Berliner Philharmoniker, Jakub Hrůša, Seong-Jin Cho

"Béla Bartók's mother tongue was Beethoven." This quote by the composer György Kurtág goes right to the heart of this Easter Festival concert under the direction of Jakub Hrůša. It will feature Béla Bartók's monumental Concerto for Orchestra, which the composer wrote in American exile. Ludwig van Beethoven was also surrounded by the tumult of war when he wrote his last piano concerto. It is nicknamed the "Emperor” Concerto, although it is not clear whether this refers to the fleeing Archduke Rudolph or the Emperor Napoleon invading Vienna, from whom Beethoven had actually already turned away by that time. Pianist Seong-Jin Cho enjoys pop star status in his home country of South Korea.
