Afternoon Concert: Mahler & Sibelius

with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales

BBC Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff CF10 5AL
part of the BBC Hoddinott Hall 2011-12 and Cardiff Sacher Series series

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.
