It’s Valentine’s Day, so it has to be Romeo and Juliet! Tchaikovsky’s stirring Overture is the perfect introduction to a programme full of romantic ardour. Rachmaninov’s Concerto, familiar to millions through its use in Brief Encounter, has equally soaring melodies and is played for us by a talented pianist who won the prestigious Van Cliburn competition in 2005. The love-life of Johannes Brahms is rather less apparent in his music, but his Third Symphony does contain music of great warmth and romantic yearning, inspired in part by his unfulfilled longing for Clara Schumann.
