Best of Brahms

Brahms wrote his Double Concerto for two friends who’d played together for years and could read each other’s musical minds. As is true for our Concertmaster Andrew Beer and our Principal Cello Ashley Brown (and of course our Music Director Giordano Bellincampi).

And if the Academic Festival Overture is simply Brahms having uproarious fun, the great Fourth Symphony – now stormy, now mysterious, now high-spirited – is his summation of everything he knew from a lifetime in music.
