It's hard to understand the doubt that settled in Brahms's mind ahead of the first performance of his fourth symphony. Now firmly positioned as a concert hall essential; audiences across the globe remain grateful that it lived beyond its premiere.
Elgar's poetic and passionate Cello Concerto gives no indication of any such worries; soulful and passionate from the opening bars, this is music of deep emotion that has an unfailing ability to connect.
