Johannes Brahms
Piano Concerto No. 1 (50 mins)
Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 7 (45 mins)
Dinis Sousa conductor
Stephen Hough piano
Royal Northern Sinfonia
A wonderfully indulgent evening of music. Brahms' First Piano Concerto is a real showpiece for any performer, while Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony is almost the ultimate symphony - powerful, joyful, complex, and brilliantly
entertaining, with composer Richard Wagner calling it the ‘apotheosis (peak) of the dance’.
Concert lasts around 2 hours including a 20 minute interval.
