The Romanian pianist Radu Lupu returned to Boston to play Mozart’s sunny A major Piano Concerto, which the orchestra had last played at the 2012 Tanglewood Festival in a very different reading with Paul Lewis. After the interval, Christoph von Dohnányi led Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony, a work he has conducted with almost all the world’s great orchestras. In this performance, the Boston Globe’s reviewer heard ‘the professor of architecture visiting the cathedral to show visitors its beauty but not to worship. Bruckner's musical logic was deftly unpacked in real time.’
