Live from London's Wigmore Hall, Camerata RCO (members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra) perform Brahms's First Serenade in its original chamber version.

Camerata RCO (members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra) offer a rare chance to hear Brahms's First Serenade in its original chamber version for wind and string nonet. They begin with Nielsen's brief Serenata in Vano, which portrays two gentlemen playing a tune in a chivalric manner to lure a fair lady out onto her balcony, but to no avail. Since the performance is in vain (‘in vano’), they return home to the tune of a march played for their own amusement.
