Martin Helmchen plays Brahms

From the 大象传媒 Proms, the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra play music by Peja膷evi膰 and, with pianist Martin Helmchen, Brahms. Plus, more from the 2023 Queen Elisabeth Competition.

Introduced by Penny Gore, and including another chance to hear Martin Helmchen play Brahms's Second Piano Concerto at the 大象传媒 Proms, with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Sakari Oramo. The concert also includes Dora Peja膷evi膰's Symphony in F sharp minor, continuing the Proms focus on the work of this resurgent 20th-century Croatian composer, in the centenary year of her premature death.
