20 September 2015. Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto and Mahler's fourth Symphony at the Barbican.

The soloist (Murray Perahia) and Conductor (Bernard Haitink) made a splendid pair as they came on stage and gave a riveting performance of the piano concerto. Perahia seemed so fluid and mesmerizing that I was quite shocked when it came to an end.

The Mahler I found a little harder to get into with its themes from a childhood, but I thought the Soprano (Anna Lucia Richter) for the Finale was excellent - an opinion I was glad to see endorsed in a review the next day
