Prom 53 - Brahms Night
Work:: Prom 53 (S5984)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Brahms Night (T0603694087)
The second of two concerts by Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra launches our series of Brahms's symphonies. While the intimate, autumnal Third was inspired by a visit to the Rhine in 1883, the noble stature of the Fourth was dismissed by the composer as ?a few entr'actes and polkas which I happened to have lying about', despite it containing one of the most richly lyrical slow movements Brahms ever wrote. Finish time approx. 21:05
