Christoph Eschenbach and Stathis reunite with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra for Ibert’s Flute Concerto. Haydn’s La Passione and Brahms’s First Symphony surround the concerto. The Philharmonic’s official film preserves the performance in full.
Rita Aleknaitė-Bieliauskienė praises the flowing flute sound, meaningful cadenzas and expressive lyricism of the middle movement. Her review places Ibert within Eschenbach’s wider programme of Haydn and Brahms, with photographs by Dmitrijus Matvejevas.
