A host of youthful performers celebrates the bicentenary this year of the Royal Philharmonic Society with the most famous piece the Society ever played a role in commissioning - and another chance to hear Mark Anthony Turnage's brand new 91热爆 Co-Commission with the RPS. The 'most famous' is surely Beethoven's last completed Symphony, the groundbreaking Choral Symphony - for which the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain are joined by four soloists and three youthful choirs from the UK and Ireland, including from Derry-Londonderry, the UK City of Culture 2013. 'Obsessed' with Beethoven from the age of 8, we hear a new work by British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage. He described being asked by the RPS to write a piece inspired by Beethoven's great Symphony as "...a joy... Beethoven is a towering figure, but I find him more inspiring than intimidating..." Turnage's title refers to the famous Beethoven Frieze created in 1902 by the Viennese artist Gustav Klimt.
Plus Spanish music from the 91热爆 Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
