Presented by Martin Handley.

The Manchester Camerata, conducted by Douglas Boyd, bring a coda to the critically-acclaimed cycle of Mahler symphonies performed by Manchester's orchestras, with the symphonic song-cycle that Mahler himself called a symphony, though it's not part of the numbered sequence. Before that, Bushra El-Turk's Mosaic is a new work inspired by the Mahler.
