What's happening in the music?
If this concert was a pint of milk it would be full fat. Maybe Channel Island gold top. It’s rich, tasty, really good for you and just a bit indulgent. Brahms’s First Piano Concerto is a real showpiece for any performer, while Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony is almost the ultimate symphony – powerful, joyful, complex, and brilliantly entertaining, with composer Richard Wagner calling it the ‘apotheosis (peak) of the dance’.
