For her debut with the Munich Philharmonic, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla has chosen Symphony No 3 by the rarely performed Mieczysław Weinberg. Like his friend Shostakovich, the Soviet composer with Polish-Jewish roots got caught up in the mills of Stalinist cultural policy and was only slowly rediscovered in the West in the past decade. Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, by contrast, is an indisputable concert hall favourite. The celebrated pianist Igor Levit promises a profound approach to the romantic masterpiece.

Programme

  • Robert Schumann: Concerto for piano and orchestra in A minor, Op 54
  • Mieczysław Weinberg: Symphony No 3, Op 45
