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.
