World-renowned Anton Kuerti is a legend among Canada’s pianists and a master<br />
interpreter of the music of Beethoven. An Officer of the Order of Canada, Kuerti is<br />
also the recipient of the Governor General’s Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award,<br />
the highest artistic award given by Canada. Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto is<br />
an unforgettable journey of poetry, intimacy and joy.<br />
Anton Bruckner’s <strong>Symphony</strong> No. 7, brought the composer the most success in his<br />
lifetime. The Austrian composer’s vast symphonies are sometimes called Gothic<br />
Cathedrals-in-sound, or “mountains moving.” A unique and special conception of<br />
time and space are in his works, which are deeply moving and rare experiences to<br />
hear.<br />
