Tom Service welcomes us back to St. George's Bristol for the second of this week's Brahms Experience concerts.
Daniel Hope (violin) and Sebastian Knauer (piano) present Brahms alongside two of his most significant champions: Joseph Joachim and Clara Schumann, with whom Brahms's life became so deeply intertwined.

Brahms: Scherzo from the F.A.E Sonata
Clara Schumann: Romance, op.22 no.1
Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor, op 108

8.10pm INTERVAL
Tom Service talks to tonight's soloist, Daniel Hope, about Brahms's relationship with Joseph Joachim and how their early partnership developed into an enduring friendship.
Brahms found a musical soul-mate in the Hungarian violin virtuoso, Joachim, who was just two years his elder. Tom and Daniel discuss how they collaborated and influenced each other's creative pursuits, and how Joachim remained an unstinting champion of Brahms despite their more troubled association in later years.

8.30pm PART 2
Mendelssohn: Two songs: Auf Flugeln des Gesanges; Hexenlied
Joachim: Romanze in C
Brahms: Violin Sonata No.1 in G, op 78

Daniel Hope (violin)
Sebastian Knauer (piano)

The Brahms Experience continues across Radio 3 all this week in Essential Classics, Composer of the Week, Afternoon on 3 and Through the Night.
