Join the BBC Symphony Orchestra with conductor Martyn Brabbins at BBC Maida Vale Studios.
The music from Havergal Brian's Sixth Symphony was originally intended as a prelude to an Irish mythology-inspired opera on J.M. Synge's 'Deirdre of the Sorrows', but instead became his mighty symphonic masterpiece subtitled 'Sinfonia Tragica'. Enjoy its alluring wind melodies and magical trumpet fanfares, alongside fellow English composer Edmund Rubbra's last major orchestral work, the Symphony No. 11 and Grøndahl's Trombone Concerto performed by principal trombonist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Jörgen van Rijen.
