I've been enjoying the concerts at Heinz Hall this season, and look forward to the upcoming:
- Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5, "Emperor"
- Bruckner: Symphony No. 7
- Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 2
- Haydn: Violin Concerto No. 2
- Mahler: Symphony No. 4
I also note that the PSO webpage still has Symphony No. 3, "Eroica" for Feb. 5th and 6th, even though I saw the following on the Post-Gazette blog:
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will replace Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” with Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 at Heinz Hall for the weekend of Feb. 5 and 6 in order to better prepare for the group’s Carnegie Hall concert, in which the latter is featured. “I am sure the orchestra would play it brilliantly, but I would really like to have a fantastic preparation,” said music director Manfred Honeck of the concert Feb. 9 in New York. The PSO just released an album of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 on the Exton label, raising the stakes on an already important concert for the PSO. Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter will join the PSO in all the concerts to perform Brahms’ Violin Concerto. — Post-Gazette Classical Music Critic Andrew Druckenbrod
