大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo (conductor)

Award-winning German pianist Martin Helmchen makes his Proms debut as soloist in Brahms鈥檚 Second Piano Concerto, a vast work full of mercurial mood swings and technical demands. The concerto鈥檚 late-Romantic spirit and generous scope find an echo in Dora Peja膷evi膰鈥檚 Symphony in F sharp minor, richly scored and resplendent with brass. Composed during the First World War, when Peja膷evi膰 worked as a nurse, the work receives its Proms premiere by Sakari Oramo and the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra following their critically acclaimed recording.
