I had the opportunity to hear Mutter play the 2nd Concerto in Berlin with the RSO this past May. Penderecki was supposed to conduct but, apparently, he was not up to the task although he was in attendance. The conductor was his assistant, Maciej Tworek, was fine but Mutter was spectacular. The audience responded with long applause which turned fortissimmo when Penderecki came on stage and was warmly embraced by Mutter.
Thanks for posting because it reminds me that I have to get this.
