Inspired by the engraving of a huntsman's funeral from a book of children's fairy tales, Mahler's First Symphony brilliantly captures the image's enchanting yet macabre quality. Thea Musgrave's new BBC commission, specially written for tonight's soloists, creates a dramatic play for attention between the two divergent players, who begin far apart yet reconcile their differences by the end of the work.
