Summary
Thomas Dausgaard conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, where Benjamin Grosvenor joins for Brahms’s First Piano Concerto before the 1915 version of Sibelius’s Fifth Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the rare, original version of a Nordic masterpiece that ends with a theme inspired by a flight of swans. Before the interval, one of Britain's most thoughtful pianists tackles a Brahms concerto that feels like a dramatic, private conversation between the soloist and a massive wall of sound.
