One of choral music's greatest works, Jan谩cek's Glagolitic Mass is a passionate outpouring of love for the world of nature. By contrast, conflict is to the fore in Brahms's Piano Concerto No.1, a work that distils the drama of the composer's relationship with Schumann and his wife Clara. Valery Gergiev conducts the London Symphony Orchestra, with soloist Barry Douglas.
