Live from the Barbican Hall in London
The 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor launches its 80th season with a programme of works connected by passion, the pain of loss and the enduring power of love. Music from Wagner's medieval romantic drama Tristan and Isolde leads to the UK premiere of Peter Lieberson's achingly beautiful Neruda Songs sung by Sarah Connolly. Dvorak's Seventh Symphony, with its sense of profound tragedy, belongs to Jiri Belohlavek's musical DNA.
