Performance NotesOne of the great youth orchestras is back, and in distinguished company. Daniele Gatti begins with the weighty tread and unmatched radiance of music he has been exploring at Bayreuth. Frank Peter Zimmermann plays one of the 20th century’s most eloquent violin concertos.

Strauss conjures up a bittersweet Vienna of young love, mid-life melancholy and abundant waltz tunes, while Ravel’s apotheosis of that dance form may or may not have been intended as a metaphor for the fate of European civilisation as its unstoppable whirling reaches critical mass.

The appearance of Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester has been made possible with the support of Erste Group and Vienna Insurance Group, Partners of the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester.

Broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and filmed for BBC Four television.
