Leif Segerstam conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, who perform his own Symphony No 151, Sibelius' Pohjola's Daughter and Nielsen's Symphony No 5. With Jonathan Swain.

Jonathan Swain presents a performance given at Glasgow's City Halls featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Leif Segerstam, who conducts the UK premiere of his latest symphony. It was written at the time when bird flu paranoia was at its height and is full of literary jokes and puns. Also on the programme is more conventional Scandinavian music from Sibelius and Nielsen.
