Wagner and Schumann both lived and worked for many years in Dresden and this programme celebrates that great tradition. After Wagner’s grand overture, Schumann’s concerto is a piece in which soloist and orchestra collaborate rather than oppose each other. Its mixture of delicacy and passion reflects the composer’s own personality. Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is the fruit of a lifetime wrestling with the problem of how to write symphonies after Beethoven, and balance the dramatic and contemplative sides of his character. The four movements culminate satisfyingly in a magnificent set of variations on a theme by Bach.
