The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra play 20th and 21st-century music including Strauss opera, a Bartok concerto, a rarely-heard Russian symphony and a world-premiere from its home.

Music from Richard Strauss's final opera provides the bookends for today's programme played by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. In-between there's 20th and 21st-century music including rarely-heard scores by Messiaen, Debussy and Miaskovsky. The orchestra's homeland contributes the soloist for Bartok's 2nd Violin Concerto and music from the 1950's and a new work by a composer still in his 20's. Finnish choirs join the orchestra for music by P盲rt, intriguingly based on a prelude by Bach. Presented by Katie Derham.
