A Double Concerto brings double the fun.

To the composers of the Romantic generation, nature was a storybook, where forests, mountains and rivers all echoed the joys and sorrows of the human heart. Antonín Dvořák’s love of the Czech countryside sings and dances through his overture In Nature’s Realm. Brahms’s bittersweet Double Concerto and Schumann’s stormy Fourth Symphony are like huge, elemental landscapes in their own right, and with a conductor as inspiring as Jonathon Heyward and two of the LPO’s own Principal players as soloists, there’s no better way to explore them.
