Works by Rudi Stephan and Steve Elcock, live from MediaCityUK, Salford, plus music by Mendelssohn and Shostakovich.

Composer Rudi Stephan's career was cut brutally short aged 28: a casualty of World War I. Considered the most promising German composer of his generation, today we hear his Music for Orchestra (1912) which searches for new paths in expressionist colours

There's also music by Chesterfield-born Steve Elcock, whose work was first performed by the ѿý Philharmonic in 2009. Today, the orchestra give the world premiere of his Fourth Symphony – ‘A golden rose fallen from the flat sea of time’. Of its title, he says: “I will only say that you must make of it what you can”. The one-movement piece explores a move away from serial music to the magnetic pull of tonality
