Bruch's String Octet blends the infectious excitement of his much-loved orchestral works, such as the Violin Concerto, with the intimacy of a small chamber setting. Led from the outset by a beautiful violin melody, the music travels through moments of drama, virtuosity and mischief. The two outer movements frame a sombre, chorale-like second movement, before allowing the sunshine to return in a jubilant finale.
This concert is part of the Philharmonia Chamber Players series.
