Valery Gergiev (conductor)

One of choral music's greatest works, Janácek's Glagolitic Mass is a passionate outpouring of love for the world of nature. By contrast, conflict is to the fore in Brahms's Piano Concerto No.1, a work that distils the drama of the composer's relationship with Schumann and his wife Clara. Valery Gergiev conducts the London Symphony Orchestra, with soloist Barry Douglas.

First broadcast 24th July 2014.
