BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Studio Concerts Strauss from the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

Beginning with the spirited brilliance of Mozart’s Overture to The Magic Flute, a sparkling introduction bursting with energy, drama and iconic operatic sounds.

Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs was composed in the final years of his life. Conducted by Corinna Niemeyer and showcasing the soaring soprano vocals of Aphrodite Patoulidou, this poignant masterpiece reflects on the beauty and transience of life itself.

Finally, delight in the charm of Respighi’s The Birds, where elegant orchestration brings avian sounds to life. Inspired by Baroque melodies, Respighi captures playful chirps, flutters and the sounds of nature in this colourful piece.
