From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Penny Gore.
Berg's intensely dramatic, highly complex, and only purely orchestral work is set alongside Mahler's fairy-tale cantata, performed in its original three-part version for huge choral and orchestral forces. The marvellous mingles with the macabre in this dramatic piece Mahler started in his teens - based on castles, queens and a magic flute!
