Award-winning German pianist Martin Helmchen makes his Proms debut as soloist in Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto, a vast work full of mercurial mood swings and technical demands. The concerto’s late-Romantic spirit and generous scope find an echo in Dora Pejačević’s Symphony in F sharp minor, richly scored and resplendent with brass. Composed during the First World War, when Pejačević worked as a nurse, the work receives its Proms premiere by Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra following their critically acclaimed recording.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

First broadcast:  14 August 2023
