Symphony Hall, Birmingham +44 (0)121 345 0600

Andris Nelsons  conductor
Hélène Grimaud  piano

Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 1 (Winter Dreams) 43'
Brahms: Piano Concerto 1 in D minor 42'

Please note that, due to recent changes in Hélène Grimaud’s recording schedule around this time for Deutsche Grammophon, she will now perform Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 rather than Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2.

Johannes Brahms wasn’t all lullabies. His First Piano Concerto is Brahms without the beard: grand, stormy and driven by an almost volcanic passion, it’s the work of a hot-blooded young genius on a mission to change the world. Music just doesn’t get any more romantic - a thrilling challenge for the incomparable Hélène Grimaud. Andris Nelsons sets the mood with Tchaikovsky’s delightful Winter Dreams; if you’ve heard his stunning recordings of later Tchaikovsky symphonies with the CBSO, you won’t want to miss this one.

£10, £14.50, £19.50, £24, £27.50, £31, £37
