Strauss wrote his first horn concerto when he was only 18.  A showpiece in the romantic tradition, Strauss originally hoped his father who played professionally would give the premiere, but he found it too hard – not least the many high notes - and that honour went to another.  Tackling it with us is Alexander Edmundson, co-principal horn with the LSO and a former brass finalist in the BBC Young Musician competition. The ‘Pathétique’, perhaps Tchaikovsky’s best-loved symphony, needs no introduction. Trinity Church Centre, London DD/MM/YYYY
