Ferruccio Busoni

Piano Concerto in C major, op. 39

In the year that marks 100 years since the death of the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni, Gulbenkian Music presents the monumental Piano Concerto, op. 39. The Gulbenkian Choir and Orchestra, virtuoso pianist Kirill Gerstein and conductor Hannu Lintu perform a work whose over the top nature and inspiration for romantic music has proved to be an object of great fascination. The first part will feature Symphony No. 3 by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer linked to Busoni by a friendship established when the latter was teaching in Helsinki.
