Daniel Harding conducts the Münchner Philharmoniker

From the Musikverein in Vienna, Renaud Capuçon is joined by the Münchner Philharmoniker and conductor Daniel Harding the first Austrian performance of his compatriot Thierry Escaich's new Violin Concerto No. 2. A work of great drive and rhythmic vitality, it is coupled here with Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 "Romantic" whose opening – with its horn theme intoned against shimmering strings – sets the scene for one of the composer's most popular works, and a familar calling card for Harding, a conductor celebrated in this repertoire. PROGRAM: Escaich - Concerto for violin and orchestra (commissioned work and world premiere); Bruckner - Symphony No. 4 in E flat major
