A bracing and invigorating wind runs through this concert bringing together Andrew Wan and Charles Richard-Hamelin in Mendelssohn’s carefree and high-energy Concerto for Violin and Piano. Similarly, Brahms’ Serenade no. 1 weaves its bucolic, luminous magic, conveying the composer’s energy and drive as a young composer, but also foreshadowing his later symphonies.
