NYPhilh. Open Rehearsal - All Beethoven Program

Yesterday's open rehearsal for the NY Philharmonic was an all-Beethoven program:  Overture to Die Geschopf, Piano Concert No. 1 in C major, played majesticially by Radu Lupu & Symphony #5 in C minor.  The concert masestro was Christoph von Dohnanyi. Lupu, the piano soloist is considered among the elitie interpreters of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert & Brahms. Mr.  Ludo has won the Van Cliburn & Leeds Piano Competitions. Lupu is a prolific recording artist including the complete Beethoven concertos.   I can listen to an all Beethoven concert by our NY Philharmonic ($18) all the time.  For those who don't take advantage of these symphonic masterpieces, all I can say is - duh duh duh dumb!
