Live from The Sage Gateshead
Presented by Adam Tomlinson
Thomas Zehetmair conducts the Northern Sinfonia in their Romantic Symphony series at The Sage Gateshead with the two first forays into symphonic writing by Schumann and Brahms.
When Robert Schumann encountered a young Johannes Brahms, one of the most fascinating, explosive and fruitful friendships in musical history began. Brahms revived Schumann's flagging spirit; Schumann nurtured Brahms's emerging skills. 'He'll become a great symphonist,' said Schumann of his young follower, and he was right.
When Brahms's symphonic journey eventually launched, it did so like an arrow-shot in slow-motion, his first symphony steamrolling towards a truly angelic Andante and a cheering, striding finale.
