Inspired by a trip to Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa, Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture is one of the great musical seascapes.
Lars Vogt then joins Louis Langr茅e and the Hall茅 for Schumann's poetic Piano Concerto. Written for Schumann's beloved wife Clara, it is a work of both glorious lyricism and virtuoso display.
'Melodies flow so freely', wrote Brahms as he composed what is one of his most sunlit and serene creations - his Second Symphony.
