Love Brahms? Symphony No 1

BARTÓK: Divertimento
MENDELSSOHN: Violin Concerto
BRAHMS: Symphony No 1

Daniel Harding conductor

London Symphony Orchestra

Tickets: £7 - £32

Although written in the Swiss Alps, even as Europe was on the verge of war, Bartók‘s Divertimento begins and ends in optimism (despite a brooding middle movement). Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, his last large orchestral work, was an instant success when performed in 1845 and remains a Romantic masterpiece. Brahms’s First Symphony, which took him 21 years to complete, has been nicknamed ‘Beethoven’s Tenth’ to suggest its grandeur and contained passion.
