Performance NotesIn 1999 young Arab and Israeli musicians came together for the groundbreaking creative and social experiment that was the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra. A quarter of a century later, the ideals of listening, respect and mutual understanding enshrined in this ensemble are underlined like never before.

For this timely Prom, the orchestra and its co-founder Daniel Barenboim bring with them Brahms’s consolatory Violin Concerto featuring soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter and the monolithic, momentum-fuelled symphony by Schubert that deservedly acquired the nickname ‘Great’.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
