Webern: Concerto for Nine Instruments Op24
Mozart: Piano Concerto No 21 in C K467
Brahms: Symphony No 4

Robin Ticciati: conductor; Lars Vogt: piano

A spring/autumn programme pairing perhaps the most youthful, joyful and uplifting of all Mozart’s piano concertos (a fine showpiece for the superb pianism of Lars Vogt) with Brahms’ deeply felt and richly hued symphony. His music speaks of the regrets and sorrows of old age, but also exude an all-embracing warmth and consolation. Brahms was one of Webern’s essential inspirations, and if this short piece of his seems to represent everything Brahms is not ... how fascinating is that? Especially as the two men lived in the same milieu a matter of years apart.
