Zubin Mehta /
Yuja Wang 2

We do not know the name, face and even if she has ever performed in public the Concerto for piano and orchestra. 9 written for her by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. However, it seems clear, listening to the poignant central Andante and the reckless difficulty of some pages like the final Rondo, that Mademoiselle Jeunhomme (or Jenomy), a French pianist that moved to Salzburg in January 1777, had bewitched the young composer. This masterpiece born for a mysterious virtuoso is  now entrusted to the excellence of Yuja Wang. In the second part of the evening, Zubin Mehta and his Orchestra face the Symphony n. 9, left unfinished by Anton Bruckner and dedicated, with a clear knowledge of arriving at his latest work, "To the Good Lord".
