After her remarkable performance in 2023, Tianyi Lu returns to the OSM. She is joined by pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, undisputed champion of Bartók’s music who performs the composer’s exquisitely poetic Concerto no. 3, infused with elements of Hungarian folklore. This work’s relative tranquility is paired with the tormented inflections of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5, through which this composer related his most profound personal anxieties.
