Dvorak, Lutoslawski & Brahms At the Proms, Royal Albert Hall, 30 August 1997

I think The Duchess must have chosen this one. I don’t remember her being partial to a bit of Brahms, but she must have been. I am quite partial to Brahms too.

We heard:

  • Antonín Dvořák – Overture ‘Carnival’
  • Witold Lutosławski – Cello Concerto
  • Johannes Brahms – Symphony No 1 in C minor

In truth I don’t remember this particular concert well. I was familiar with the Dvorak and Brahms pieces but not the Lutoslawski one. I’m not sure I am much the wiser having heard it.

Rick Jones was impressed:
