July 5
Esa-Pekka Salonen & Yefim Bronfman

Composed over four turbulent years, Robert Schumann’s only piano concerto, here performed by Yefim Bronfman, features a lustrous intermezzo, blazing bravura passages, and encoded tributes to the composer’s wife, muse, and finest interpreter. Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony, the “Romantic,” was his first major composition to earn real applause.
