Late Romantic Masterpieces

The St Gallen Symphony Orchestra, directed by Chief Conductor Modestas Pitrenas, play works by Enescu, Schoenberg and Bruckner. Baritone Shea Owens joins them in songs by Mahler.

Fiona Talkington presents a highlight from last year's European concert calendar.

The St Gallen Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1877, is Eastern Switzerland's principal orchestra. Its main venue is the Tonhalle St. Gallen, built in 1909 and one of the finest examples of Jugendstil architecture in the Lake Constance region. In this concert, directed by chief conductor Modestas Pitrenas, they play works by Enescu, Schoenberg and Bruckner. Baritone Shea Owens joins them in a song cycle by Mahler.
