Tonight, I will say goodbye with the final part from Mahler's Symphony No. 2, Resurrection, directed by Claudio Abbado, with Eteri Gvazava, Soprano, and Anna Larsson, Alto. So beautiful!
One of the first pieces of classical music that I remember from my childhood, Herbert von Karajan and a 17-year-old Evgeny Kissin performing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.
1988, Salzburg, Austria
For this lunch break, I chose Arthur Rubinstein playing Saint-SaΓ«ns' Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22. This video is from 1975, when he was 88 years old, and while almost blind, this might have been one of his best performances.
As a side note, he played this Concerto since 1904, when it was in front of Saint-SaΓ«ns.
I added the YouTube link for the longer version.
