Brahms's Double Concerto

Available for 22 days

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe. This week Classical Live has a distinctively French flavour, as we explore the concertos of Saint-Saëns, and chamber works by the likes of Fauré and Debussy; we’ll also turn our attention to France’s famous musical brothers, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon. On today’s programme we’ll hear Danny Driver perform Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit; and Gautier Capuçon is joined by Augustin Hadelich, the Vienna Philharmonic and Christian Thielemann in a performance of Brahms’s Concerto for Violin and Cello recorded live at the Musikverein in Vienna.
