The Master Classes programme at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía often welcomes former students who have become magnificent soloists and who now stand on the other side to offer their teaching to the students. Asier Polo is one of these extraordinary alumni whose talent has crossed borders to reaffirm him as one of the great artists of his generation.

In the class, the students are confronted with one of Brahms' mature works, his Double Concerto op.102, in which the soloistic character of the performers must sometimes stand out and sometimes blend in. Polo explains the work as a continuous balance between the two parts in a constant interaction with the orchestra.
