Tom McKinney brings this week of performances by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra to a close.

They begin with a concert recorded in Munich in November 2018 which saw conductor Simone Young making her debut with the orchestra. The concert opens with Mozart鈥檚 final symphony - the Jupiter 鈥� arguably one of the greatest symphonies of all time, written some three years before the composer鈥檚 death in 1791. They conclude with Richard Strauss at his most heroic 鈥� Ein Heldenleben, his eighth tone poem, said to be autobiographical, although Strauss himself vehemently denied it.

The afternoon continues with a highlight from another concert given in Munich last autumn. This time, Riccardo Muti takes to the podium to conduct the symphony that Schubert left incomplete at his death in 1828 鈥� the 8th, in B minor.

The week ends with former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Beatrice Rana in a performance of Prokofiev鈥檚 3rd Piano Concerto, which he completed in 1921.
