Live from Queen Elizabeth Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The Britten Sinfonia and baritone Roderick Williams present a programme inspired by Viennese Song.

Four of Gustav Mahler's Ruckert lieder lay at the heart of this concert - songs of love, longing and loneliness. Around them is music by Schubert; his songs arranged for orchestra by Anton Webern, some dances and the masterwork that is his 5th Symphony. Webern's own Five Movements complete the programme - brief diamonds of condensed atonality that shocked the world in 1909 when they were written, but works whose heritage is obviously the Viennese tradition epitomised by Schubert and Mahler.
