Episode 3

Afternoon Concert Richard Strauss
Episode 3 of 4

Presented by Katie Derham. Including the Radio France Philharmonic and soloist Olivier Doise performing Strauss's Oboe Concerto. Plus the Bavarian RSO in Bruckner's Symphony No 9.

Katie Derham presents two great late works by Richard Strauss and Anton Bruckner. Strauss's Oboe Concerto, written at the behest of an American serviceman who visited the aged Strauss at his Bavarian home at the end of the war, is the work that heralded his incredible Indian Summer. In it's effortless blend of rococo whimsy and serene elegy it could not be further removed from the anguished outpourings which precede the heavenly serenity which the dying Bruckner finally found in the closing pages of his unfinished last symphony.
