Wagner Prelude to the Third Act of 'Die Meistersinger'
Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor
Brahms Symphony No 1 in C minor

Each year this legendary orchestra selects a venue of cultural importance in a different European city for a televised performance to mark its founding in 1882. We are honoured to host this event in Oxford in 2010 on May Day morning, and delighted to be able to make seats available to our own audience.

The Brahms symphonies with their rich sonorities and characterful solos are central to this
orchestra's history and style and remain at the heart of its repertoire. Elgar's concerto is a newer
introduction but for Daniel Barenboim it is a work with a strong personal resonance. For this
performance he introduces the young soloist Alisa Weilerstein, a natural, impassioned virtuoso who
is making her mark on the international stage.
