Performer: Mihhail Gerts

Gerts conducts a sublime Brahms 4 while Carol McGonnell gives a lively rendition of Stanford's Clarinet Concerto in A minor. 

Mihhail Gerts and Vadym Kholodenko delight in Bartók, while the Ulster Orchestra’s playing pleases in two five-movement symphonic works. 

The Isle of the Dead and The Bells make gloomy bookends to the final concert of the season, but Mihhail Gerts makes a great case for both at the National Concert Hall.
