Carnegie Hall Presents Staatskapelle Berlin: Brahms Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4
$51-$189
- Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
Johannes Brahms — Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98
Staatskapelle Berlin is one of the world's oldest and most storied orchestras—and it remains one of the greatest. Its Brahms symphony cycle is one of "of rare pedigree and worth … not 'here today, gone tomorrow' performances … They embody deeper memories and seek out larger horizons, as Brahms himself did" (Gramophone). In this second night of the cycle, Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads the ensemble in Brahms's Third Symphony, a work of spellbinding contrasts, and the towering and tragic Fourth Symphony, which showcases the composer's lifelong evolution as a musical architect.
Please note that Daniel Barenboim has had to withdraw from his North American tour with the Staatskapelle Berlin due to health reasons. Conducting the orchestra in his place at Carnegie Hall is Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
