Martin Helmchen plays Brahms

From the ѿý Proms, the ѿý Symphony Orchestra play music by Pejačević and, with pianist Martin Helmchen, Brahms. Plus, more from the 2023 Queen Elisabeth Competition.

Introduced by Penny Gore, and including another chance to hear Martin Helmchen play Brahms's Second Piano Concerto at the ѿý Proms, with the ѿý Symphony Orchestra and conductor Sakari Oramo. The concert also includes Dora Pejačević's Symphony in F sharp minor, continuing the Proms focus on the work of this resurgent 20th-century Croatian composer, in the centenary year of her premature death.
