Katie Derham continues Radio 3's Music in the Great War season with Empires and other fronts, including, appropriately for our opera matinee, Die Erste Menschen, The First Men, an opera by Rudi Stephan, a promising German composer killed at the war, which is performed by the Orchestre National de France and a cast of soloists led by Nancy Gustafson in the role of Chawa, with Mikko Franck at the helm. It's followed by Hubert Parry's The Chivalry of the Sea, a naval ode written in 1916, which is performed by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under David Lloyd-Jones.
Also, Schubert's Symphony No. 4, 'Tragic' in a recent performance given by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic, under its Principal Conductor, Juanjo Mena.
