About This Event

Love and loss, life and death collide in an emotionally charged concert given by Nathalie Stutzmann and the 成人快手 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales.

Turbulent shifts of mood characterise Brahms鈥檚 Tragic Overture, and their ripples continue through the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner鈥檚 powerful operatic exploration of forbidden love, Tristan and Isolde.

At the heart of the programme is Mozart鈥檚 Requiem 鈥� the composer鈥檚 final work, left unfinished at his early death, and his own musical epitaph. Soloists include former 成人快手 Radio 3 New Generation Artists Fatma Said and Kathryn Rudge.

Approx. end time: 21:00

Broadcast on 成人快手 Four on Sunday 11 August
