Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC TWO The charismatic Michael Tilson Thomas and his acclaimed West Coast orchestra fly the flag for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Third Symphony from a great American maverick. One of America's leading dramatic sopranos, Deborah Voigt, becomes Strauss's vengeful, sexually depraved Salome – her stage debut in the role last year having been described in the New York Times as 'touching greatness'. Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony – regardless of its claimed intention as a humble corrective following official criticism – remains one of the great showpieces of the symphonic repertory.
