Brahms’s Second
Repertoire
Performers
- Charlotte Politi* conductor
- Samson Tsoy piano
Even geniuses need a holiday, and when Brahms spent a summer in the Austrian Alps, the music just poured out of him.
His Second Symphony is one of those pieces that seems to glow with summer sunshine: music of soaring melodies and majestic vistas. It’s a lovely contrast to Beethoven’s stormiest piano concerto played by the ‘fearless’ (The New Statesman) Samson Tsoy, and this afternoon the drama starts from the very first note – as BBC Music Magazine Rising Star Charlotte Politi ventures into the haunted forests of Weber’s Der Freischütz.
Be warned – it gets spooky!
