Canellakis Conducts Brahms

The concerto was completed by the composer in 1858, when he was just 25 – a genius at the height of his youthful powers. Brett Dean’s Memorials retell three modern tragedies in vivid orchestral colours, and The Wild Dove, by Brahms’ great friend Dvořák, finds dark secrets within a Czech folk tale. There’s something extraordinary about the partnership between the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its principal guest conductor Karina Canellakis. ‘Conductor and orchestra have explosive chemistry’, declared one review in The Times earlier this year. See them in action together at this concert. Generously supported by Cockayne – Grants for the Arts and The London Community Foundation
