Performer: Chamber Orchestra of Europe

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.

Iestyn Davies shows how to make every word count in a fairly standard sampler of Baroque arias; Ticciati is a fireball on the podium with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Beethoven was the spiritus rector of Ticciati's COE concert at the Elbphilharmonie, with Lisa Batiashvili in commanding form for that composer's fiddle concerto.
