Stefano Bollani and Zubin Mehta meets again: in the occasion they will perform the Concert champêtre by Francis Poulenc, composed in 1928 for the heroine of harpsichord renaissance Wanda Landowska, and of which Poulenc wrote a piano transcription. In the second part of the concert we have Mahler's Sixth Symphony, of which Alma, the composer's wife, tell us that: «We climbed back, hand in hand, to his little cabin in the woods, where we were sure of not being disturbed [ ... ] After he sketched the first tempo, he come down from the woods and said: "I tried to set your personality in a theme - I do not know if I succeeded. But you have to let me do"». He was successful, as Alma wrote, «No work flowed so directly from his heart like this one. We cried that time, both of us, so deeply this music touched us».
