ANDRÉE | Concert Overture, GLAZUNOV | Saxophone Concerto, BRAHMS | Symphony No. 1

Pounding timpani, rising violins and musical tension with unyielding momentum: the powerful opening of this Brahms’ symphony must have shocked its first audience. Drama is everywhere. Earlier, Jess Gillam performs a concerto full of twists and turns that showcases the soulful side of her instrument.
