Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)

Premiered in 1976, Per N酶rg氓rd鈥檚 Third Symphony is one of the great contemporary symphonies 鈥� 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 成人论坛 Scottish Symphony Orchestra preface it with two works of equal sonic breadth: Wagner鈥檚 exquisite musical meditation, the Prelude to Act 1 of Parsifal, and the autumnal warmth of Strauss鈥檚 Four Last Songs, sung by Swedish soprano Malin Bystr枚m.
