Staatskapelle Berlin & Daniel Barenboim Perform Bruckner Symphonies No. 1–3

Daniel Barenboim – conductor, pianist, all-round musician – has been exploiting the impact of cyclical performances of composers’ works for several years now, with cycles of Beethoven’s symphonies and piano concertos, Wagner’s operas, Schoenberg’s orchestral works and, in conjunction with Pierre Boulez, Mahler symphonies. With the performance of Bruckner's Symphonies Nos. 1–3 at the Philharmonie Paris, he completes his Bruckner Cycle with the Staatskapelle Berlin. Bruckner's symphonies have "rarely been performed so passionately" (Altamusica). Together with Bruckner's Symphony No. 1, Barenboim and the Staatskapelle performed Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante.
