The opening piece is an imaginative portrait in sound of melting Nordic ice. Shimmering and delicate textures give way to more urgent music, after which the piece 'rewinds', offering a glimmer of hope for the future.
Brahms' magnificent Violin Concerto is deservedly one of his most popular works. After a noble, expansive opening section, the middle movement is one of his most beautiful, and the final is a vigorous Hungarian-tinged dance.
Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, sandwiched between two more famous neighbours, has a rewarding atmosphere all its own, from the mysterious slow introduction to the vigorous and joyful finale.
This concert will be recorded by BBC Radio 3.
