Masur Conducts Brahms by Kernis, Brahms, lø. 07 juni 2025, Fra (2025/2025), Dirigent Ken-David Masur, Bradley Symphony Center, Milwaukee, United States

The MSO’s own principal cellist Susan Babini performs an unforgettable concerto by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis, whose expansive and haunting solo cello concerto Colored Field was inspired by a visit to a former WWII concentration camp. Later, Music Director Ken-David Masur conducts Brahms’ First Symphony, whose brilliance helped the composer step out of Beethoven’s shadow; critic Eduard Hanslick said of Brahms’s First that '...even the layman will immediately recognize it as one of the most distinctive and magnificent works of the symphonic literature.'
