Elder conducts Brahms

Sir Mark Elder

Friday 10th November 2017

Venue: Saffron Hall
Category: Classical Music
Price Info: £10-£50
Time Info: 19.30pm

Brahms’s First Symphony, one of the greatest of all Romantic symphonies, was first performed with considerably smaller musical forces than we are used to hearing today. Sir Mark Elder conducts Britten Sinfonia in a performance that returns to the spirit of those early concerts and allows the details of Brahms’s extraordinary lyrical masterpiece to shine through. The programme is completed by Mahler’s sublime Rückert-Lieder, with mezzo Elisabeth Kulman, Finzi’s soaring elegy for orchestra and Benjamin Britten’s arrangement of the second movement of Mahler’s Third Symphony.

6.30pm – Pre-concert talk: Sir Mark Elder discusses tonight’s programme (free to ticket holders)
