DVD + Blu-Ray:
Andris Nelsons conducts the Wiener Philharmoniker

Andris Nelsons and the Wiener Philharmoniker perform Mahler’s Fifth Symphony and Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Yefim Bronfman as a soloist.

Andris Nelsons and the Wiener Philharmoniker explore the brilliance of Béla Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and the emotional depths of Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. Passionate but restrained, Andris Nelsons conducts both masterpieces with superb clarity and precision: Mahler’s famous Adagietto unfolds with “unreal shimmer and dark glow” (BR Klassik). Yefim Bronfman is the soloist in one of the most difficult piano concertos ever written and impresses with “impeccable technique, expressive power, and a touch of swing” (Der Standard). The concert is part of the Wiener Philharmoniker’s Mahler cycle with Andris Nelsons.
