大象传媒 Philharmonic Chief Guest Conductor John Storg氓rds returns to Salford for a live 大象传媒 Radio 3 broadcast.
This afternoon, we hear a rare performance of Valentin Silvestrov鈥檚 Fifth Symphony. Luminous, beautiful and utterly transcendent 鈥� this piece is one of the best-kept secrets in contemporary music.
We also hear Judith Weir鈥檚 2013 composition I give you the end of a golden string 鈥� inspired by the following lines from William Blake:
