Two phenomenal composers, two epic works that will take you on a compelling musical journey through an emotional maelstrom of sound, texture and driving rhythmic intensity.

Brahms’s Violin Concerto is full of beautiful, lyrical melody and ferocious fireworks; a balancing act that requires all a soloist’s skill and commitment. Bruckner, that master of building and dissipating tension, brings all those skills to bear on his Sixth Symphony and creates some of the most blazing pinnacles of full orchestral force that he ever wrote. This is edge-of-the-seat stuff to lose yourself in, from bar one to coda.
