This month, NSO Showcase takes us to Germany and Austria with the music of Strauss and Bruckner. NSO conductor laureate Christoph Eschenbach leads the orchestra in Horn Concerto No.1 by the teenage Richard Strauss. Principal Horn of the NSO Abel Pereira gives a tour-de-force performance. Gianandrea Noseda conducts an interlude from Strauss’ opera Intermezzo, and Marek Janowski directs Bruckner’s most celebrated symphony, the dramatic 7th.
