Programme Note
Brahms' last orchestral masterpiece exemplifies his dream of creating a super instrument where violin and cello interleave their melodies as if as of one. Sisters Emma and Joy Lisney are wonderfully placed to realise this dream.
This is followed by Shostakovich's 10 th symphony, considered by many to be his finest.
