Episode 7
Jonathan Swain presents the 大象传媒 Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda in David Matthews' Symphony No 7 (大象传媒 commission) and Mahler's Symphony No 7. Plus Mahler's 4th on a piano roll.
Presented by Jonathan Swain.
From the Bridgewater Hall, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra under Gianandrea Noseda continues the critically-acclaimed cycle 'Mahler in Manchester' celebrating 150 years of the composer's birth, with his 7th Symphony, often labelled Song of the Night. Before that, David Matthews' own 7th Symphony, commissioned by the 大象传媒 in the spirit of this cycle, which constrasts modern pieces with the legacy of the Austrian composer.
