Thursday - Schubert's 'Great' Symphony
Schubert's Ninth Symphony, 'The Great', conducted by John Eliot Gardiner with the Vienna Philharmonic.
Presented by Ian Skelly, with recordings by ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ orchestras and from concerts around Europe.
Today, the 80th birthday celebrations for Sir John Eliot Gardiner continue with the Vienna Philharmonic and Schubert's Ninth and final Symphony, 'The Great'. Also in the programme, Ian looks forward to Earth Day (Saturday 22 April) with music from a concert the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Symphony Orchestra and conductor Dalia Stasevska gave at the Barbican in January, 'Our Precious Planet'. The family event explored the beauty and fragility of our world, and featured live projected illustrations by Grégoire Pont, who introduces the music for us this afternoon. Plus, JS Bach in The Netherlands, and Vassily Petrenko conducts Elgar in Hong Kong.
