Well done Fergus, I love the way Brahms is subtly suggested rather than slavishly reproduced. I found myself in a sound world where the Academic Festival Overture was a possibility, and the references to the 1st symphony were satisfyingly underdone. Did the strings not have aching triceps after the performance?
Le gach dea-mhéin,

PS the portrait of Beethoven in Batt's is truly ghastly.
