BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Live in Concert, Britten Sinfonia, Roderick Williams - Viennese Song

The Britten Sinfonia and baritone Roderick Williams in music inspired by Viennese song.

The Britten Sinfonia and baritone Roderick Williams perform a programme inspired by Viennese song, including Webern's arrangements of Schubert Songs and Mahler's Ruckert-Lieder.

Live from Queen Elizabeth Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny 

The Britten Sinfonia and baritone Roderick Williams present a programme inspired by Viennese Song. 

Four of Gustav Mahler's Ruckert lieder lay at the heart of this concert - songs of love, longing and loneliness. Around them is music by Schubert; his songs arranged for orchestra by Anton Webern, some dances and the masterwork that is his 5th Symphony. Webern's own Five Movements complete the programme - brief diamonds of condensed atonality that shocked the world in 1909 when they were written, but works whose heritage is obviously the Viennese tradition epitomised by Schubert and Mahler.
