Versatile, sensitive, intelligent: Sir András Schiff has long been regarded as one of the world’s greatest pianists. He has appeared multiple times as a soloist with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 1985. Now, after a twenty-year absence, he returns to perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, considered by many to be Beethoven’s finest. Yet it would take an astounding twenty-five years before audiences heard a decent performance of the work and realised what a masterpiece it actually is.

The South Korean maestro Myung-whun Chung will then be conducting the crowning glory of Brahms’ symphonic œuvre, the Symphony No. 4, in which the composer pays homage to his predecessors Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. In his intensely melancholic Fourth Symphony, Brahms’s mastery as a composer reaches unprecedented heights.
