Programme

Overview

Three fine players perform two major works for horn trio: written for the natural horn, Brahms’s piece served as a memorial for the composer’s beloved mother, who died in 1865. Born in 1935, the Austrian contemporary composer is admired for music that is (according to the Financial Times) ‘homespun, witty, nostalgic, vegetarian, politically liberal, intelligent, anti-authoritarian, widely-read, and deeply in love with tradition.’
