Music Director Jaap van Zweden conducts a gorgeous program of Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Respighi’s Pines of Rome. Conrad Tao presents a thrilling performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 17, with a special encore rendition of Billy Strayhorn’s jazz standard Lush Life. Recorded at the state-of-the-art McKnight Center during the orchestra's residency at Oklahoma State University.Jaap van Zweden, conductor Conrad Tao, piano Debussy / Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) Mozart / Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K.453 Strayhorn / Lush Life (Encore) Respighi / Pini di Roma (Pines of Rome) McCulloh / Alma Mater Hymn (Ballenger, William) (Encore)
Joshua Bell is the soloist and Jaap van Zweden conducts in this performance from November 24, 2021.Beethoven’s violin concerto is a lengthier and more muscular piece by far than any similar work to come before it. It begins with soft taps on the timpani which serve as a recurrent motif, and some say that the idea for it came to the composer from the sound of servants tapping on a neighbor's door. The movement then unfolds as a marvelous interchange between soloist and orchestra. The Second movement, the Larghetto, gives the principal melody to the orchestra, while the solo violin provides embellishments. The final Rondo of the Beethoven Violin Concerto begins brilliantly with a dance-like subject before turning more sentimental in tone.
After a gestation period of nearly 15 years, Brahms officially unveiled his first symphony in 1876. The composer felt equally tormented and inspired by the specter of Beethoven. In 1872 he wrote, “I shall never write a symphony! You cannot imagine what it’s like to hear such a giant marching behind you!” But as former New York Philharmonic Program Annotator Michael Steinberg wrote, “When [Brahms] at last brought himself to move, he moved surely.” Australian conductor Simone Young led the New York Philharmonic in a performance of Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor In November of 2021 at Alice Tully Hall.

Nathan Milstein is remembered as one of the finest violinists of the 20th century. Not only did he have an expansive repertoire, but he also enjoyed a remarkably long career, retiring only after he broke his left hand in a fall at the age of 82.
Milstein was a regular guest of the Philharmonic, performing more than 70 concerts with the Orchestra between 1930 and 1987. We're going to hear him in a historically significant recording made in 1945 featuring Bruno Walter and the New York Philharmonic. After that, we have Beethoven's Missa solemnis conducted by Kurt Masur. Alec Baldwin is your host on the New York Philharmonic This Week.

Pierre Boulez served as music director of the New York Philharmonic from 1971 to 1977. His performances were noted for their accuracy and clarity — particularly in highly complex new music. He also impressed critics and audiences alike with fresh interpretations of traditional repertoire — especially the music of his countrymen. In this broadcast we hear Boulez conduct the score to the ballet La Péri by Paul Dukas.
And just because it's fun, we'll also hear Leonard Bernstein lead a performance of Beethoven's first piano concerto from the keyboard. Alec Baldwin is your host on the New York Philharmonic This Week.
