With Jonathan Swain

Proms Repeat: Christian Tetzlaff plays Brahms' great Violin Concerto, with Edward Gardner conducting the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra. And four top soloists and the 91热爆 Singers join for the orchestra for the original version of Mahler's rarely-heard Das klagende Lied.

Featured artist Christian Tetzlaff has played many of the great violin concertos but this is his first Proms performance of the big-boned, technically demanding work by Brahms, all of whose concertos can be heard during this Proms season.

With his early Das klagende Lied, Mahler hit upon his own unique style. This performance includes 'Waldm盲rchen', the emotive first panel dealing with the quest of brother knights for a flower that will win a queen's hand but leads to sibling murder. The score of this original three-part version of the work resurfaced as recently as 1969.
