London Philharmonic Orchestra: Jurowski conducts Bruckner, Royal Festival Hall

Brahms simply hoped his Double Concerto for violin and cello “might deliver some fun”, but it turned out to be so much more, especially in the hands of the two remarkable young German musicians who are lined up for this concert.
Julia Fischer will be playing the violin alongside the fine cellist Daniel Müller-Schott . Fischer is only in her twenties, yet has already won an “Artist of the Year” Gramophone Award and been voted BBC Music Magazine “Best Newcomer”. She has a busy programme planned for the coming season, with this concert being one of her few appearances in England. Likewise, Müller-Schott has a relentlessly international programme, often in America.
These two exceptionally talented musicians have a history of playing and recording together. In 2007, they produced a joint album of the Double Concerto and Brahm’s Violin concerto in D with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Double Concerto has been described as “an endless love song” between two instruments and “an opera without words”. It has a certain charm and is entertaining to watch live. Certainly, this is a great chance to see Fischer and Müller-Schott’s chemistry in action. 
Following the Brahms, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) will be playing Bruckner’s Symphony No. 2. This sees the symphonic sound at its best and gives the LPO a chance to show the audience just how amazing they are. The Russian principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski conducts with precise clarity, but it helps to have a cracking orchestra too. As the brains behind The Rest is Noise concert series, they have a busy season ahead, but nevertheless remain the most innovative orchestra in Britain.
