Christian Thielemann conducts the Staatskapelle, Dresden

Christian Thielemann conducts the Staatskapelle, Dresden, in Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony and Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony, in a concert from the Dresden Semperoper.

Christian Thielemann conducts the Staatskapelle, Dresden, in Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony and the Lyric Symphony by Alexander von Zemlinsky.

Christian Thielemann brings his symphonic mastery and operatic flair to Zemlinsky's symphony in seven movements, the composer's heady answer to Mahler's better-known Song of the Earth, in this concert from the Dresden Semperoper. And, in an age when some feel that orchestral sound is in danger of becoming homogenised, the world's oldest orchestra brings its old world sound to Mendelssohn's Scottish.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
