These became assimilated in varying degrees with European influences, setting up a series of political and artistic tensions which continue to the present day. David Huckvale tells the story of the Spanish musical invaders and the vibrant culture that fought back.

From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Schoenberg's vast work is based on a series of Danish poems and tells the tale of the legendary 12th-century King Waldemar and his illicit love for Tove, a young girl living in the castle of Gurre.
Scored for a large orchestra with soloists and a massive chorus, this work was a great success at its first performance - one of the rare occasions during his lifetime when Schoenberg was applauded by the Viennese public. Presented by Paul Guinery.
