Titos Gouvelis in Brahms’ First Concerto – A tribute to Dimitris Dragatakis

After his successful debut with the Athens State Orchestra last year, the up-and-coming Italian maestro Jacopo Sipari di Pescasseroli returns to the ASO podium this year for a performance of Mozart's light-hearted Notturno for four orchestras and the Sixth Symphony by Dimitris Dragatakis, one of our most inspired and restless post-war composers. The concert ends with Titos Gouvelis contributing the solo to Brahms' epic First Piano Concerto, a heartbreaking work that combines the robustness and grandeur of the symphony with the brilliance and extroversion of the concerto.
