Andris Nelsons and Guy Braunstein with works by Brahms and Strauss

Brahms’s Violin Concerto impresses not with artistry, but with the marvellously delicate interplay between soloist and orchestra. Guy Braunstein and Andris Nelsons showed off the concerto’s charms in a performance that was both dynamic and without affectation. Its discreet virtuosity contrasts here with a work of almost unashamed self-confidence: Richard Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben.
