Presented by Catherine Bott, from the Barbican Hall. Jiri Belohlavek leads the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in Mozart's rarely-performed Piano Concerto No 16, featuring Lars Vogt.

Presented by Catherine Bott, live from the Barbican Hall.

Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlávek conducts Mahler's Sixth Symphony with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra. Lars Vogt joins them in Mozart's Piano Concerto No 16 in D major, K451.

Mahler's vast Sixth Symphony, first performed in 1906, is recognised today for its extraordinary insights into the human condition. The work comes to a climax with the 'hammer blows of fate' which seem to pre-figure tragic events in the composer's life. The concert opens with an exquisite but rarely performed piano concerto by Mozart, performed by master pianist Lars Vogt.
