Exactly three months to the day after the first evening dedicated to Brahms' orchestral music, Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra are performing another such concert at the Vienna Konzerthaus: this time the programme features the last contributions to the symphonic and instrumental concerto genres that Brahms composed in the mid-1880s: In the summer months of 1884/85, the 4th Symphony in E minor was composed in Mürzzuschlag - a place where, according to Brahms' testimony, »the cherries did not become sweet and edible« and which therefore produced a rather tart tone. Two years later, Brahms composed a double concerto for violin and cello in Thun, Switzerland, one of the very rare examples of a late Romantic Sinfonia concertante with more than just one solo part and his last orchestral work ever. The soloists are violinist Veronika Eberle, who has long since matured from a child prodigy to a masterful artist, and cellist Steven Isserlis, now a celebrated old master of his craft.
