Philippe Herreweghe and Bertrand Chamayou
Robert Schumann’s joyous First Symphony, written after his marriage to Clara Wieck, captures the optimism of spring. Philippe Herreweghe, a devoted admirer of Schumann’s music, brings this vitality to life. Contrasting in mood is Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24, performed by French pianist Bertrand Chamayou. This introspective masterpiece, where the orchestra becomes an equal partner in the musical drama, deeply influenced Beethoven’s own work. With these historic highlights, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra treats its Brussels audience to an evening of timeless brilliance.
