Music as Life

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Continuing the BBC Scottish
Symphony Orchestra's Nielsen symphony cycle. Victor Bendix said of Nielsen's Symphony No 5 in a letter to the composer in 1922: "This is dirty trenches music, an impudent fraud, this clenched fist in the face of a snobbish, titillation-sick public who lovingly lick the hand stained with their own noses' blood!". This specially commisioned radio fantasy charts the genesis of a great war symphony, puts it in context and shows just what makes the music tick. With contributions from David
Fanning, Stephen Johnson ,
Jorgen Jensen and Osmo Vanska. The BBC
Scottish Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Osmo Vanska.
Producer Simon Lord
Next programme Monday 7.30pm
