Mahler from Manchester: Mark Elder conducts the HallÃ© in Mahler's  Ninth Symphony, with the world premiere of Luke Bedford's At Three and Two.

'My time has not yet come', said Mahler. This performance of the valedictory Ninth Symphony marks the end of the HallÃ©'s contribution to the complete cycle of Mahler's Symphonies being staged by the Manchester orchestras. Karajan described Symphony No.9 as 'music from another world, coming as if from eternity' and in what is often seen as a farewell to the world, the composer quoted from his Kindertotenlieder - 'The day is fine on yonder heights'. 
Luke Bedford is one of today's leading young composers. His previous HallÃ© premiere, the distinctive and expressive Rode with Darkness, won the BBC Radio 3 Listeners' Award (British Composers' Awards).
