This chant greeted the Berlin Philharmonic on its first appearance at the Proms in August 1991 under its new musical director, Claudio Abbado. Susan Sharpe introduces part of that concert: a performance of Brahms's Piano Concerto No 2 in B flat, with Alfred Brendel
(piano), and, to a tumultuous ovation,
Rossini's overture William Tell.
