Beethoven, Brahms and Sarah Gibson
For Brahms, composing music was a quest to balance head and heart. The composer's final symphony is the most exquisite example of that mission, a piece as radiant as poetry and as perfect as a mathematical equation. This Prom, Brahms's work of Apollonian perfection is balanced by the outpouring of joy that is Beethoven's Violin Concerto, plus a brand-new work by Sarah Gibson inspired by the hope, pain, fear and joy of new motherhood. Tobias Feldmann makes his Proms debut for this concert with the BBC Philharmonic under Anja Bihlmaier. There will be an interval.
