Music from the heart of Europe unites this programme.

The lively dances by Brahms and Dvořák showcase some of the region’s exciting rhythms and folk-inspired melodies, which also inspired Bartók.

His thrilling and spectacular Piano Concerto no. 2 is an all-stops out masterpiece. The slow movement at its heart is interrupted by a whirlwind scherzo and framed by dynamic outer movements of great energy.

Mahler’s first symphony proceeds from a magical, hushed opening, via a folk-dance second movement and strange funeral march, to a jubilant finale, and shows the twenty-four year old composer excitedly exploring just what a modern orchestra could do.
