An Alpine Symphony from Manchester

Nicholas Collon conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in a world premiere by Tom Coult and Richard Strauss's An Alpine Symphony. Francesca Chiejina joins them for Berg's Seven Early Songs.

From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Presented by Ian Skelly

The 大象传媒 Philharmonic are guided on an epic, day-long mountain journey by Nicholas Collon in Richard Strauss's 'An Alpine Symphony'. We travel with them through meadows and forests and experience weather, danger and exhilaration before arriving safely home. Soprano Francesca Chiejina joins the orchestra for Alban Berg's Seven Early Songs, music he revisited from earlier in his life to colour with deft orchestration. Again themes of the outdoors and nature are celebrated in summer days wandering in the countryside, as well as celebrating the joy of being back at home in front of the fire with a loved one. In 'Three pieces that disappear', a new 大象传媒 Radio 3 commission for the orchestra by their Conductor-in- Association, Tom Coult, he speaks of music "being remembered, forgotten, misremembered, imagined, deteriorating."
