BBC Radio 3 - BBC Proms, 2014, The Sunday Prom: Richard Strauss Celebration

Strauss's Four Last Songs, Festival Prelude and Deutsche Motette and Elgar's 2nd Symphony.

First transmitted in 2014. The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic perform works from Richard Strauss, plus Elgar's Second Symphony.

From the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Derham presents a 150th anniversary celebration of the birth of Richard Strauss. The acclaimed Danish soprano Inger Dam-Jensen sings the composer's exquisite Four Last Songs in a prom which also showcases two of Strauss's rarely heard works - his majestic Festival Prelude and his Deutsche Motette for choir and four solo voices. 

The mood of late-romantic nostalgia continues with a performance of Elgar's Second Symphony. Vasily Petrenko conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Singers.
