Performance on 3 - Untitled

Christopher Cook introduces a concert by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under its principal conductor Jiri Belohlavek given at the Barbican Hall, London. The programme begins with a late, sparkling Haydn symphony, before Swedish soprano Camilla Tilling joins in for a rare performance of Zemlinsky's luridly lush late-Romantic, almost operatic depiction of a forest meeting between a traveller and a witch. The concert ends with the charming child's view of heaven in the vocal finale of Mahler's Fourth Symphony. Haydn: Symphony No 96 in D (Miracle) Zemlinsky: Waldgesprach Mahler: Symphony No 4 in G Camilla Tilling (soprano) BBC Symphony Orchestra Jiri Belohlavek (conductor).
