Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Louise Fryer
Another chance to hear the second of two concerts recorded in August in which Bernard Haitink conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and pianist Emmanuel Ax in music by Brahms.
They open with a work long central to Emanuel Ax's repertoire. Brahms's Second Piano Concerto is on a grand Romantic scale and makes huge technical demands on the soloist. Following this, they perform the composer's astonishing final symphony, where the balance between expressiveness and structural control is most perfectly maintained.
