Philharmonia Orchestra - Brahms, Beethoven
Live from the Royal Festival Hall in London, Herbert Blomstedt conducts the Philhamonia Orchestra. Brahms: Piano Concerto No 1 (soloist: Martin Helmchen). Beethoven: Symphony No 7.
Tonight youth and experience come together for one of the most hotly anticipated concerts of the season. Herbert Blomstedt celebrates his ninetieth birthday this year and made his professional conducting debut in 1954; Martin Helmchen's breakthrough moment came in 2001 when he won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition at the age of nineteen. They tackle Brahms's monumental First Piano Concerto and then, after the interval, Blomstedt conducts Beethoven's tumultuous 7th Symphony, famously dubbed by Wagner 'the apotheosis of the dance'.
