Presented by Penny Gore.

This week we focus on recent performances by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, featuring the symphonies of Beethoven and some very personal musical responses to the devastation of World War II. Our regular Thursday Opera Matinee features a rarely heard 1930s work by Karl Amadeus Hartmann, itself a study of the traumas of war.

Today, music by Beethoven frames a trio of works for soloists and orchestra by Brahms, Schumann, and Krzysztof Penderecki. His Double Concerto, yet to be performed in the UK, was written for these young performers and premiered with the BRSO in Vienna last October. This concert was recorded in the orchestra's home venue - the Herkulessaal (Hercules Hall) of the Munich Residenz - which was reconstructed after WWII.
