Weinberg, Ades... and the sea

The sea frames this concert from Birmingham, presented by Tom McKinney, in which Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla conducts the CBSO in a characteristically dramatic and broad programme.

The sea frames this concert from Birmingham, presented by Tom McKinney, in which the CBSO are conducted by Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla in a characterstically imaginative and broad programme.
