BBC Hoddinott Hall 2014-15 Live In Concert With Christoph König by Brahms, Suk, J., Ab (2015/2015), Dirigat Christoph König, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, Vereinigtes Königreich

Josef Suk may have started out following in the footsteps of his father-in-law Dvořák, but the symphony Suk wrote in his memory could not be more different to Dvořák’s style. It’s a beautiful and moving tribute to his family, named after the Old Testament angel of death Asrael. It’s paired with the technically-demanding, majestic and yet beautiful Violin Concerto by Brahms – performed by Esther Yoo, one of BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists.
