The legend goes that composers’ late works can often be their finest. This concert demonstrates just that: Johannes Brahms’s Double Concerto – performed here with star soloists Isabelle Faust and Sol Gabetta – was his orchestral swansong, intimately written for two close friends. Its outer movements are brimming with exciting virtuoso episodes, while its expansive central Andante is adored for its melodic beauty.

Antonín Dvořák wrote his final symphony, ‘From the New World’, during his tenure as director of America’s National Conservatory of Music. His inspirations include African American spirituals and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha, an epic poem about Native American life.

Jakub Hrůša and the Bamberger Symphoniker’s recordings of Brahms and Dvořák symphonies have been hailed by BBC Music Magazine as ‘first class’. This is a chance to hear them live in this special tribute to two Romantic geniuses.
