A concert given last Friday in the Royal Festival Hall, London. The BBC Symphony Orchestra's exploration of the music of Zemlinsky continues with a performance of his delightful orchestral fantasy "The Mermaid", after the tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Withdrawn by the composer after its premiere, it has since found a place in the repertoire. And Rolf Hind gives the UK premiere of Bent Sorensen's piano concerto La Notte.
