Performance NotesFor Brahms, composing music was a quest to balance head and heart. The composer’s final symphony is the most exquisite example of that mission, a piece as radiant as poetry and as perfect as a mathematical equation.

In tonight’s Prom Brahms’s work of Apollonian perfection is balanced by the outpouring of joy that is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, plus Sarah Gibson’s warp & weft, inspired by the work of Canadian artist Miriam Schapiro.

Tobias Feldmann makes his Proms debut for this concert with the BBC Philharmonic under Anja Bihlmaier.
