Tom Redmond offers another chance to hear a concert given by the CBSO of music by Mozart, Widmann and Brahms, with conductor Mirga Grazinyte and clarinettist J枚rg Widmann. Recorded in Symphony Hall Birmingham in 2017.

Brahms grappled with his First Symphony - and the weight of music history - for well over ten years. But he needn't have worried. From the pounding heartbeats of the opening, to the roof-raiser of a peroration, it's really no wonder it was instantly dubbed "Beethoven's Tenth". Tonight's concert also gives the opportunity to hear Artist in Residence J枚rg Widmann in two musical guises: as soloist in Mozart's valedictory Clarinet Concerto (about which Mozart wrote "I smoked a glorious pipe of tobacco. Then I orchestrated almost the entire Rondo..."), then as composer in his Babylon-Suite.
