Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, May 22, 1997

Soloists: Bronfman, Yefim (piano)
Other Performances:
May 24, 1997
Programme:
Carter: Allegro Scorrevole | Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 2 | Liszt: Hungarian Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra | Haydn: Symphony No. 102

Commissioned by the Cleveland Orchestra, the fleeting Allegro scorrevole became the final movement of Elliott Carter’s Symphonia, a magnificent late 20th-century counterpart to the symphonic tradition of which Joseph Haydn was the father. The evanescent virtuosity of Carter’s work finds its Romantic counterpart in two concertante works by Liszt.
