Weigle, Park / Schumann, Bruckner by Schumann, Bruckner, Ab (2015/2015), Dirigat Sebastian Weigle, Musikverein Wien, Wien, Österreich

A hotly-anticipated debut: the 28-year old German-Korean pianist Christopher Park has received nothing short of rave reviews in the German press. "An expressive musician of genius", as he was dubbed by Der Tagesspiegel; "tremendously sensitive", wrote Die Welt; and "advanced, surreal, enraptured in delirium" raved the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung after one of his concerts. With Schumann's Piano Concerto, this shooting star, recently chosen as an ECHO "Rising Star 2016/17", now shows off his virtuosity for the first time in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. The concert ends with Bruckner's Symphony No. 4, which, with its nickname of "The Romantic", is among the composer's most-performed symphonies. The second version dating from 1878/80 is performed under the baton of German conductor Sebastian Weigle.
