Episode 3

Louise Fryer presents music from the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Haydn: Symphony No 91. Sibelius: Luonnotar. Ligeti: Mysteries of the Macabre. Schumann: Symphony No 2 in C.

Today Louise Fryer presents Simon Rattle conducting not his own Berlin Philharmonic, but probably Germany's second-best orchestra, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Symphonies by Haydn and Schumann frame the concert, and they're joined by the Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan in stunning pieces by Sibelius and Ligeti.
