When pianist Yefim Bronfman meets conductor Lahav Shani and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, musical brilliance is guaranteed. Together they span the spectrum from Beethoven's Emperor Concerto to Tchaikovsky's passionate Fifth Symphony.

Concentrated musicality on the podium! Nothing less can be expected when the legendary keyboard virtuoso Yefim Bronfman meets young star baton prodigy Lahav Shani, who has already been successfully leading the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for five years.

As chief conductor of the traditional orchestra, Shani presents a central work of music history together with master pianist Bronfman: Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto, in which the freedom-loving composer leads festive, rebellious sounds through dream-lost worlds into jubilant certainty. Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, interwoven with sounds of destiny, strives towards confidence through unbridled passion and rolling longing.
