Presented by Ian Skelly

A chance to hear a live concert from the German capital Berlin given by renowned British conductor Sir Roger Norrington and the players of the German Symphony Orchestra. It's a concert which pairs music by J.S. Bach with the 4th Symphony of Gustav Mahler, a work which presents a child's vision of heaven in its final movement. German soprano Lydia Teuscher gives voice to both the heavenly vision and is also soloist in Bach's Cantata: 'Praise God in all lands!'.

JS Bach: Orchestral Suite No. 4 in D, BWV 1069
JS Bach: Cantata No. 51 'Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen!'
