For the very first time, Lorenzo Gatto and Pieter Wispelwey are brought together on stage in Brahms’ magnificent Double Concerto. Guaranteed to send sparks flying, especially if Kristiina Poska holds the baton. For his Second Symphony, a relaxed Brahms freely allowed himself to be inspired by the beautiful nature that surrounded his Austrian holiday home. An Intermezzo by Stenhammar, also called the ‘Swedish Brahms’, completes the picture.
