And yet its musicians were to play, said Brahms, as if ‘with a mourning ribbon around their arm’. Brahms’s meeting of glowing melancholy and piercing brightness is the culmination of the Berlin Philharmonic’s second Prom under Sir Simon Rattle, following Dvořák’s colourful Slavonic Dances and a new work from Julian Anderson.
