MOZART Concerto for Two Pianos BRUCKNER Symphony No . 7
Conductor Rune Bergmann scales the vast , shimmering expanse of Bruckner ’ s Seventh Symphony ( listed as one of the 20 greatest symphonies of all times by BBC Music Magazine ), an ode to Richard Wagner that infuses that operatic legend ’ s breadth and intensity ( and even his custom-designed
Wagner tubas ) into a grand symphonic tapestry . Bringing the effervescent Concerto for Two Pianos that Mozart first played with his sister , the identical twin pianists Christina and Michelle Naughton show off their “ extraordinary and satisfying rapport ” and their ability “ to finish each other ’ s sentences instinctively ” ( Classical Voice ).
