Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti is back playing with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. This time, she performs BrahmsDouble Concerto for Violin and Cello with German cellist Leonard Elschenbroich.  Nicola and Leonard discuss the pressures of having both a creative and personal relationship and how that impacts on their performance of Brahms’ intimate Double Concerto. The couple will play the work in eight centres around the country with new NZSO music director Edo de Waart.
