Y. Nézet-Séguin: Brahms Cycle I: Concert Various

Johannes Brahms and the women, that sounds like bad television. But the demure Brahms, who apologized for "not having offended anyone today," cultivated deep friendships with women. Reason enough for Yannick Nézet-Séguin to add this component to his summer festival dedicated to the composer. With attractive contrasts: Clara Schumann wrote the piano concerto at the age of 16, whereas her future boyfriend worked on his first symphonic work for 14 years before completing it in Baden-Baden Lichtental in his mid-forties. Titanic C minor or youthful artistry? We enjoy both today.
