| Performance Notes | From broad visions of the universe to the intimacy of human relationships, the wonder of creation to the fragile moment of death, Ryan Wigglesworth and the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus take us through it all.
Human loss is at the heart both of Strausss tender, rapturous tone-poem Death and Transfiguration an orchestral portrait of the dying hours of a man and of Matthew Kaners Pearl, a lament whose medieval text sees a grieving father glimpsing his daughter in the afterlife. Its specially tailored to the glowing voice and peerless communicative skill of British baritone Roderick Williams, and to the BBC Symphony Chorus.
Holsts The Planets leaves Earth far behind in its vivid, myth-inspired journey through our solar system in all its mysterious beauty.
