It took Johannes Brahms three years to compose this stunning work, a large-scale piece - his longest-ever composition - for chorus, orchestra, a soprano and a baritone soloist. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra here perform the work with the assistance of soprano Sophie Bevan (pictured) and baritone Gareth Brynmore John. 

The concert programme also features Purcell’s Funeral Music For Queen Mary.
