MOZART Piano Concerto No 22
R. STRAUSS Alpine Symphony

Conductor Thierry Fischer
Piano Angela Hewitt

Rarely has any composer written a more extravagant piece than Strauss's Alpine Symphony: a dawn to dusk Alpine ascent. From the spine-chilling opening evoking the hours before dawn and the richness of sunrise, through to the euphoria of the summit and the drama of the mountain tempest, this is Strauss at his most colourful. With an orchestra of over 100 players (including twelve off-stage French horns), this is an unmissable occasion.

Broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
