Live from the Barbican, London 

Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor and Mahler's Symphony No. 7 in E minor with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jiří Bĕlohlávek

Mozart the Great Romantic? That's how he was described in the 19th century, and anyone hearing the stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 will see why. Next to that, parts of Mahler's Seventh Symphony seem sunny and light-hearted. But there are shadowy moments too, a Scherzo that's like wind through trees at night, and at the beginning the strangest funeral march ever penned.
