BBC SSO: Brahms' Piano Concerto No.1

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra performs Brahms's First Piano Concerto with Denis Kozhukhin, plus Beethoven's Eighth Symphony and a world premiere by Laila Arafah.

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's programme pairs Brahms's emotionally charged First Piano Concerto, played by Denis Kozhukhin, with the playful energy of Beethoven's Eighth Symphony. The concert opens with the world premiere of a new BBC Commission by Laila Arafah. Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the evening at the Music Hall, which runs to roughly an hour and a half of music plus an interval.
