Brahms Unwrapped at Kings Place

A talk as part of the Brahms Unwrapped series. Part 1: Discovering Music – Brahms's Cello Sonatas is a live analysis and performance of Brahms’s two great masterworks of the cello repertoire by well-known broadcaster Stephen Johnson (BBC Radio 3). Part 2: Debate: Why do composers love to hate Brahms? considers how composers from Tchaikovsky to Britten to Tom Adès have openly vilified Brahms. Why does his music provoke such passion, and why have so many other composers ended up returning to his music with renewed admiration?
