Conductor Giordano Bellincampi Violin Tianwa Yang Cello Gabriel Schwabe Piano Nicholas Rimmer Beethoven Triple Concerto Bruckner Symphony No.7 The conductor Bruno Walter once said that 'Mahler was seeking God; Bruckner had found God'. Vast as a mountain, this cosmically spacious symphony is a cathedral in sound. Bruckner dedicated it to the memory of his idol, Wagner, and calls for the otherworldly sound of a quartet of Wagner tubas. To precede it, a rare performance of Beethoven's lightest, most charming concerto. The slow movement gives a tantalising glimpse of what a Beethoven cello concerto might have been, but more exciting is the vivacity of three superb soloists playing off each other and the APO.
