Summary
Kristian Sallinen conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Brahms’s First Symphony at The Hexagon, featuring Katherine Lacy as soloist for Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto following Beethoven’s Egmont Overture.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the velvet tones of the clarinet in Mozart’s most famous woodwind concerto, a piece often used to evoke pure serenity on screen. It sets the stage for a symphony that took Brahms fourteen years to perfect, resulting in a finale featuring one of the most recognisable melodies in all classical music.
