Bernard Haitink conducts Emanuel Ax (piano) and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in an all-Brahms Prom. Brahms: Piano Concerto No 2 in B flat. Brahms: Symphony No 4.

With Jonathan Swain

Proms Repeat: Bernard Haitink conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and pianist Emanuel Ax in music by Brahms.
In their second concert of Brahms's masterworks at this year's Proms, they open with a work long central to Emanuel Ax's repertoire. Brahms's Second Piano Concerto is on a grand Romantic scale and makes huge technical demands on the soloist.

After the interval, the composer's astonishing final symphony, where the balance between expressiveness and structural control is most perfectly maintained.
