Last season’s sensational collaborations of the Athens State Orchestra with legendary Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev and acclaimed French conductor Philippe Auguin were truly unforgettable. So it is no surprise that their return this year is awaited even more eagerly, both by the Orchestra’s musicians and by the public, especially as they are going to perform classical masterpieces composed in Vienna by three of the greatest composers of all time. The subtlety and drama of the mature Mozart meet Haydn’s joyful and always surprising musical style, before the music takes us on a journey along paths of rare breadth, splendour and lyricism in Schubert’s “Great” symphony.
