About This Event

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Mirga Gra啪inyt臈-Tyla champion the music of a too-long neglected composer. A pupil of Vaughan Williams, Ruth Gipps started her career as an oboist with what was then the City of Birmingham Orchestra in 1944, before becoming established as a composer. Her Symphony No. 2 takes a wide-screen, cinematic view of the Second World War, embracing exhilaration, anxiety and, finally, ecstatic rejoicing. Conflict of a very different kind runs through The Exterminating Angel Symphony by Thomas Ad猫s (50 this year), inspired by Louis Bu帽uel鈥檚 Surrealist film.

Brahms鈥檚 Third Symphony strikes a more autumnal tone, inspired by a visit to the River Rhine in 1883. The critic Eduard Hanslick pronounced it 鈥榓rtistically the most nearly perfect鈥 of the composer鈥檚 symphonies to date.

Broadcast on 成人论坛 Four on Thursday 5 August at 8pm.
