Performance Notes | Thomas Søndergård and the BBC NOW return for their fourth concert, opening with a suite from Nielsens music for Oehlenschlägers play Aladdin. Its one of the composers best-loved works, one that avoids musical clichés of the exotic Orient, conjuring scenes altogether more subtle and vivid. A major premiere by the orchestras Composer-in- Association, B Tommy Andersson, puts organist David Goode in the spotlight and the concert concludes with the sunniest and most intimate of Mahlers symphonies the concise No. 4, a work filled with birdsong and pastoral landscapes that features a childs-eye view of Heaven in its final movement.
Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
