Werk: Sonate für Violine und Cello

Conducted by honorary member Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the COE’s all-Brahms concert features the composer's First Symphony and final major work, the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello.

Born to a Basque mother just ten miles from the Spanish border, Ravel excelled at authentic Spanish flavours as heard in this splendid festival concert by the Orchestre National de France.

On a gracefully warm Lecce evening, radiant Schumann and Ravel’s austere shimmer, anchored by Beatrice Rana’s quiet authority and elegance.
