Nézet-Séguin Conducts Brahms And Strauss

Add to my Calendar 19-11-2014 19:30 19-11-2014 21:30 36 London Philharmonic Orchestra 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. Royal Festival Hall, London DD/MM/YYYY

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.
