大象传媒 Proms Masterworks: Mozart and Beethoven

Beethoven's Fourth Symphony is performed by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, who join forces with the National Youth Choir of Scotland and four soloists for Mozart's Requiem.

Tom Service invites us to listen to well-known, definitive masterworks from two of the greatest composers of all time with a fresh ear. Donald Runnicles takes on Beethoven's Fourth Symphony with the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and joins forces with the National Youth Choir of Scotland and four top British soloists for Mozart's Requiem - a work of tragic beauty both musically and historically, left unfinished by Mozart just before his death in 1791.

Soloists are the soprano Carolyn Sampson, mezzo-soprano Christine Rice, tenor Jeremy Ovenden and bass Neal Davies.
