Anne-Sophie Mutter plays Brahms

For a quarter of a century, young musicians from Arab countries, Iran, Israel, Turkey and also the Spanish-speaking world have been working together in the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra, united by the ideals of listening, respect and mutual understanding. On their summer concert tours they are often joined by some of today’s most acclaimed soloists and for this timely Prom, the orchestra and its co-founder Daniel Barenboim bring with them Brahms’s consolatory Violin Concerto featuring the four-time Grammy Award winner Anne-Sophie Mutter.

Samira Ahmed and musicologist Katy Hamilton introduce this concert from the Royal Albert Hall in London.
