The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performs a highly lyrical programme of symphonies by Schubert and Zemlinsky, and conducted by Mark Wigglesworth. They are joined by two of the most sought-after singers, the soprano Claudia Boyle and the baritone Roderick Williams Schubert started writing his 8th Symphony in B minor in 1822, six years before his death, but only completed two movements. Nobody knows why he left the work unfinished, but the two movements that exist have become some of Schubert's most beloved music, full of powerful drama and breathtaking melodies. Alexander Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony owes a clear debt to his contemporary Mahler and his Das Lied von der Erde. He looked East to set poems by the Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore and creating a stunning seven-movement operatic symphony that explores the ideas of longing and desire. Presented by Martin Handley and recorded on 8th October at the Lighthouse in Poole.
