Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1Brahms arr. Schoenberg Piano Quartet No. 1
Ryan Bancroft conductor
Stephen Hough piano
MASTERFUL | RADIANT | LIVELY
World renowned pianist Sir Stephen Hough joins BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft to launch the 202425 season in Swansea with a programme of Brahms and some of his most iconic works for piano.
Uncompromising and masterful, his First Piano Concerto remains a favourite with audience and performer alike. From the radiant slow movement to its jaunty finale, this concerto shows a fascinating blend of musical heritage with a progressive outlook that is uniquely Brahmsian.
Premiered in 1861, and orchestrated by Schoenberg in 1937, Brahms' Quartet is an ingenious display of variation and transformation. Taking musical ideas and immediately exploring their possibilities paves the way for a constantly developing large scale showcase of elegance, radiance and exhilaration.
