Interview
Pierre-Laurent Aimard in conversation with Emmanuel Pahud Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto with Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Jiří Bělohlávek
Jiří Bělohlávek regards the Berliner Philharmoniker as simply “the best orchestra in Europe”. Here he performed together with pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard at the Philharmonie Berlin. In addition to a suite from Janáček’s opera From the House of the Dead and Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, the concert included Arnold Schoenberg’s Piano Concerto – a work that shows just how colourful, lively and un-cerebral twelve-tone music can be.
