About This Performance

See all Emanuel Ax's Brahms Project concerts

From its scale and grandeur, it’s not hard to believe that Brahms’ First Piano Concerto began life as a symphony. But then, Brahms viewed a concerto as a large-scale “symphony with obbligato soloist.” Emanuel Ax initiates a Brahms mini-festival with this monumental work.

Come for:

Young conductor Robin Ticciati prefaces Brahms’ epic concerto with the blithe “Spring” Symphony by Robert Schumann, both idol and mentor to Brahms.

And more:

Ligeti’s rarely heard and transitional Melodien, in which, as the name suggests, well-defined tunes emerge from the textures more characteristic of earlier Ligeti.
