Event Details
BBC SSO Thursday Night Series Rhapsodic Brahms with Donald Runnicles
City Halls : Grand Hall
Johannes Brahms always preferred the original, unrevised version of his friend Schumann’s Fourth Symphony, and here’s a chance to hear those first thoughts in all their freshness alongside Brahms’s own towering First Symphony. Donald Runnicles is joined by leading British mezzo Sarah Connolly in one of Brahms’s most moving vocal works, the marvellous Alto Rhapsody.
The programme begins with the world premiere of another of the BBC SSO’s commissioned homages to Brahms. Detlev Glanert is an old friend of the orchestra whose dramatic flair and acute ear for orchestral colour has made him one of Germany’s most sought-after composers.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Detlev Glanert explains his approach to composing one of the works commissioned by the BBC to complement the four symphonies of Brahms.
There will be no Coda after this concert.
