Programme to include:
Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No.2
Interval
Franz Schubert: Symphony No.8 in B minor (Unfinished)
Richard Strauss: Don Juan
A tour de force of Romantic orchestra classics from Brahms, Schubert and R Strauss.
For some, Brahms's Second Piano Concerto is his ultimate musical summation of human civilisation.
His First Concerto had spoken of the love and yearning of a young man, but when he came to write his second 22 years later, Brahms was a changed being. Gone was any sense of confident swagger - the sort that propels Strauss's Don Juan forward. In its place was a feeling of pregnant expectation more akin to that which opens Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.
Lars Vogt joins Principal Guest Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin for a performance of Brahms's strangely intimate yet wholly magisterial concerto.
