Mon 18 Mar 2019
Royal Festival Hall, London
Brahms Piano Concertos 1
Schumann Konzertstück for Horn Concertos
Schumann Symphony No.4
Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1
Sir András Schiff conductor/piano
One of the world’s best pianists plays some of world’s best piano music.
Written 22 years apart, Brahams’ only piano concertos are snapshots of his life. The first is youthful, raw and expressive; the second is mature, structured and wiser. Both embody radical ideas of the 19th century, when revolution was in the air and artists joined political movements to overturn the old order.
