Brahms's Double Concerto

Linton Stephens with concert performances including Brahms’s Double Concerto with Gautier Capuçon and Augustin Hadelich and more from Saint-Saëns.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week Classical Live has a distinctively French flavour, as we explore the concertos of Saint-Saëns, and chamber works by the likes of Fauré and Debussy; we’ll also turn our attention to France’s famous musical brothers, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon.

On today’s programme we’ll hear Danny Driver perform Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit; and Gautier Capuçon is joined by Augustin Hadelich, the Vienna Philharmonic and Christian Thielemann in a performance of Brahms’s Concerto for Violin and Cello recorded live at the Musikverein in Vienna.
