Ehnes plays Brahms | London Philharmonic Orchestra

When Antonín Dvorák found himself in a new continent, he composed a symphony that looks to new horizons even while it longs for home, and created a classic that never gets any less stirring. Missy Mazzoli, meanwhile, gazes into space, and sees stars and planets spiralling in the music of an old-time hurdy-gurdy: you’ve never heard an orchestra sound quite like this! And on the sunlit slopes of the Austrian Alps, Dvorák’s great friend Brahms wrote a violin concerto as serene as it is songful – perfect for the gleaming sound and endless expressive power of our soloist James Ehnes.
