O repertório a executar centrar-se-á na abordagem de tipologias sinfónicas por três importantes compositores cuja carreira se desenrolou no espaço austro-húngaro. Enquanto que Beethoven e Schubert desenvolveram a sua carreira na capital do império, Dvorák centrou a sua actividade no território actualmente designado por República Checa, tendo sido um importante codificador de um tipo específico de nacionalismo musical.
Franz Schubert
Sinfonia Nº 5, em Si bemol Maior, D.485
Antonin Dvorák
Concerto para Piano, em Sol menor, op.33
Ludwig van Beethoven
Sinfonia Nº 2, em Ré Maior, op.36
Concerto magnífico, boas peças e excelentes interpretação e direcção.
András Schiff
