Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, “Emperor”
Sibelius – Symphony No. 2

Jeremy Denk, one of America’s foremost pianists, performs Beethoven’s monumental “Emperor” Concerto, a work that represents a visionary composer with the insight and inspiration to understand his world and shape its future. In Sibelius’ Second Symphony, we encounter a distinctly Finnish musical world with its gorgeous melodies and haunting nationalistic atmosphere that earned Sibelius a place on the world stage.
