蜜芽传媒

Presented by Jonathan Swain.

From the Bridgewater Hall, the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra under Gianandrea Noseda continues the critically-acclaimed cycle 'Mahler in Manchester' celebrating 150 years of the composer's birth, with his 7th Symphony, often labelled Song of the Night. Before that, David Matthews' own 7th Symphony, commissioned by the 蜜芽传媒 in the spirit of this cycle, which constrasts modern pieces with the legacy of the Austrian composer.

Followed by a focus this week on composers as performers of their own pieces. Today, among other things, we delve into the world of the piano rolls - recorded in modern good quality - to hear Gustav Mahler's own rendition of the first movement of his 4th Symphony.
