Presented by Ian Skelly.
A concert from the 2009 Proms season, featuring a performance by David Zinman and his Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich of an overture Schubert published as part of his incidental music to Helmina von Chezy's play Rosamunde. American soprano Dawn Upshaw sings in the UK premiere of Osvaldo Golijov's recent work: an intense exploration of loss and consolation, in which the Argentinian-born composer seeks to find a contemporary resonance within four iconic Schubert songs. Upshaw also featurines in the concluding piece, Mahler's Fourth Symphony.
