CBSO - Prokofiev, Mozart, Brahms

Live from Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, Andris Nelsons conducts the CBSO. Prokofiev: Symphony No 1. Mozart: Piano Concerto No 27 (soloist: Lars Vogt). Brahms: Symphony No 4.

Simon Hoban introduces a concert from the Warwick Arts Centre given by the CBSO and Andris Nelsons with music by Prokofiev, Mozart and Brahms.

Prokofiev - Classical Symphony
Mozart - Piano Concerto No.27, K 595

8.15: Interval

Brahms - Symphony No. 4

Lars Vogt - Piano
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Andris Nelsons - Conductor

From the rocketing energy and playful humour of Prokofiev's firecracker of a First Symphony, to the Shakespearean tragedy of Brahms' Fourth, this concert spans the whole range of symphonic writing. And Mozart's beautiful last piano concerto, played by Lars Vogt, is almost a mini-opera for piano and orchestra.

Followed by a Music on the Brink Modernist Moment. Tom Service introduces two 1914 songs by Frank Bridge: Where She Lies asleep; Love went a-riding.
