Concert Information
Famed for working double duty as an acclaimed soloist and principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, the peerless Stefan Dohr performs the UK premiere of a work written especially for him. Wolfgang Rihm鈥檚 questing Horn Concerto is sandwiched by two rarities, Wagner鈥檚 moving 鈥楻ienzi鈥� overture and Berlioz鈥檚 pulsing arrangement of Weber鈥檚 piano rondo. Also on the programme: Beethoven鈥檚 Seventh, which the composer ranked among his best work.
