Ilan Volkov conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in two new works by Dieter Schnebel and David Sawer, alongside Schubert's 9th Symphony.
Theatre is at the heart of David Sawer's incisive and original music, and his new commission Flesh and Blood is a dramatic scena featuring star British singers Christine Rice and Marcus Farnsworth. Dieter Schnebel's Schubert Fantasia, which opens the concert, recalls dreamlike fragments from Schubert's G major Piano Sonata refracted through a shimmering haze of dissonant harmonies. 150 years earlier, Schubert wrote his 'Great' Ninth Symphony, a powerful feat of sustained momentum, driven by buoyant rhythms, explosive emotions and vast, inexorable climaxes, conducted by the visionary Ilan Volkov.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
