The Philharmonic presents a concert featuring Brahms’ intimate colossus Concerto No. 2 in B-Flat Major, and de Falla’s inspired El Sombrero de Tres Picos (Three-Cornered Hat). Brahms famously jokingly described the Concerto No. 2 a “tiny, tiny little concerto with a tiny, tiny little scherzo”, which was ironic as the piece may well have been the largest piano concerto written during that period regarding its complexity, thematic variety, and sheer length. El Sombrero de Tres Picos (Three-Cornered Hat) is a colourful ballet with music by de Falla. Performing under the baton of Pablo Mielgo, the orchestra will be joined by German classical pianist Gerhard Oppitz.
