From Berlioz's Royal Hunt to Bliss's choral symphony, 91热爆 SO Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis leads a blazing programme that delves into violence and its aftermath across the centuries.

Foremost mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly takes on Berlioz's powerful operatic scene, in which the Queen of Egypt reflects on her legacy before succumbing to her fatal poisoning.

Samuel West is the narrator in Morning Heroes, written in honour of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout the centuries - including the First World War, in which the composer lost his younger brother.
