BBC Symphony Orchestra

Conductor Donald Runnicles

Wednesday 28 December 2005 19:30-21:05 (Radio 3)

Gregorian chant and Catholic ritual strongly influenced the music of French organists and composers Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) and Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), although their compositional styles were very different. Donald Runnicles makes a welcome return to the BBC Symphony Orchestra to conduct two divinely-inspired masterpieces. Presented by Paul Guinery.
