R. STRAUSS Metamorphosen
MAHLER Rückert Lieder
SIBELIUS Symphony No 4
Conductor Thomas Dausgaard
Tenor Ben Johnson (BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist)
A passionate cry of anguish for the destruction of Germany in 1945, Metamorphosen was written by the eighty-year old Strauss in the white heat of inspiration in less than a month. Hear it next to the gentle folk poetry and sharp fleeting raptures of Mahler's Rückert Lieder and the one of the most powerful and stark of Sibelius's works: the mighty Fourth Symphony.
Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
