Viennese Whirls

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performs a programme of Viennese music by Strauss II, Berg and Brahms.

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performs a varied programme of Viennese music, beginning with the Blue Danube Waltz from the waltz-king himself, Johann Strauss II. Then the Orchestra is joined by its Artist-in-Residence Alena Baeva for Berg's lyrical Violin Concerto, inspired by Bach, and dedicated 'to the memory an an angel'. Finally, Brahms' sunny Symphony no.2, premiered in Vienna and packed with dance-like melodies.

Recorded at the Lighthouse in Poole last month, and presented by Martin Handley.
