BBC Philharmonic/ Noseda in Payne: The Period of Cosmographie and Mahler: Symphony No 10.

Catherine Bott presents Gianandrea Noseda conducting the BBC Philharmonic in Anthony Payne's The Period of Cosmographie and Mahler's 10th, as part of a complete symphony cycle.

Presented by Catherine Bott. 

The BBC Philharmonic, under its principal conductor Gianandrea Noseda, brings the critically-acclaimed cycle of Mahler symphonies performed by Manchester's orchestras to a climactic close with the Austrian composer's unfinished 10th Symphony as completed by Derek Cooke. Before that, Anthony Payne's 'The Period of Cosmographie' is a reflection on the powers of the universe and a final BBC commission in this cycle that explores Mahler's influence on modern composers. Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall.
