Overview
Performers to include
Programme
Please join Concert Party for an evening of the 'Hausmusik' of Johannes Brahms in the lovely setting of Lauderdale House.
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was revered during his lifetime as one of the “3 B’s” of classical music along with Bach and Beethoven. As a young man his music was championed by Schumann and Mendelssohn and other renowned composers and musicians of the Romantic era. He maintained a lifelong emotional and musical connection with Clara Schumann, one of the greatest pianists of her generation and widow of Robert Schumann. The orchestral and choral works of Brahms have never lost their position in the concert repertoire while the Hungarian Dances, Waltzes and famous Lullaby were instant popular favourites and have remained so to this day. However, we believe Brahms’s most inspired and expressive music can be found in his chamber music, songs, and piano compositions.
