Cristian Macelaru and Igor Levit
In mid-June 2020, the West German Radio Symphony Orchestra offered two concerts in one. The idea was to space out visitors in the Cologne Philharmonie, admit fewer of them, and spread the musical riches more equitably by having two one-hour performances on a single evening for different audiences. In this audio production though, we don't have to ration the music but can share everything on the playbill.
