Stefano Bollani e Zubin Mehta si incontrano nuovamente: nell'occasione eseguiranno il Concert champêtre di Francis Poulenc, composto nel 1928 e ispirato da Wanda Landowska, eroina della rinascita del clavicembalo, di cui successivamente Poulenc scrisse una trascrizione per pianoforte. Nella seconda parte del concerto c'è la Sesta sinfonia di Gustav Mahler, di cui abbiamo il racconto di Alma, la moglie del compositore.

Stefano Bollani and Zubin Mehta meet again: on this occasion they will perform  Francis Poulenc's Concert champêtre , composed in 1928 and inspired by Wanda Landowska, heroine of the rebirth of the harpsichord, of which Poulenc subsequently wrote a transcription for piano. In the second part of the concert there is Gustav Mahler's Sixth Symphony, of which we have the story of Alma, the composer's wife: « We went up arm in arm again to his cabin in the woods, where we were sure of not being disturbed, in the midst to the trees [...] After having sketched the first movement, he came down from the woods and said: "I tried to fix your character in a theme - I don't know if I succeeded. But you have to let me do it" ». He succeeded, as Alma wrote: « No work has flowed so directly from his heart as this. We were crying that time, both of us, so deeply did this music touch us ."
