Details
Part of the BBC Proms. Award-winning German pianist Martin Helmchen makes his Proms debut as soloist in Brahms's Second Piano Concerto, a vast work full of mercurial mood swings and technical demands. The concerto's late-Romantic spirit and generous scope find an echo in Dora Pejacevic's Symphony in F sharp minor, richly scored symphony and resplendent with brass. Composed during the First World War, when Pejacevic worked as a nurse, the work receives its Proms premiere by Sakari Oramo following their critically acclaimed recording.
