Performance Notes | Premiered in 1976, Per Nørgårds Third Symphony is one of the great contemporary symphonies a Danish classic that has never before been performed in the UK.
Suffused with glowing microtones and thick, textural beauty, the eclectic score draws on everything from plainchant to Latin-American rhythms to spin its extraordinary narrative.
Thomas Dausgaard and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra preface it with two works of equal sonic breadth: Wagners exquisite musical meditation, the Prelude to Act 1 of Parsifal, and the autumnal warmth of Strausss Four Last Songs, sung by Swedish soprano Malin Byström. |
