After Haydn’s Symphony No. 1, a brief but luminous Classical-era gem, Dovgan takes the stage to perform the solo role in Grieg’s lone, beloved Piano Concerto in A minor, which opens with one of the most famous motifs in the piano repertoire. To cap off the evening, the VFCO moves on to Brahms’s majestic Symphony No. 1 in C minor, a masterpiece that took decades to compose but no time at all to find enduring success. Venue: Salle des Combins (Verbier, Switzerland) Broadcast date: Saturday, August 3, 2024
