BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Live from the Royal Albert Hall , London. The sound of the sea runs deep through Japanese composer Toshio Hosokawa 's psyche - he sees tonight's piece not only as a musical illustration of the eternal cycle of water, but also as a metaphor for the human life-cycle. Nature also creeps into Mahler's Wayfaring songs, and Mahler is one of several composers quoted in Shostakovich's quirky, death-haunted final symphony. Presented by Louise Fryer.
Christopher Maltman (baritone), BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conductor Kazushi Ono
Toshio Hosokawa Circulating Ocean (first UK performance)
Mahler Liedereines fahrenden Cesellen
