Music to accompany the BBC Four Symphony series. Dvorak: Symphony No 8 in G. Wagner: Gotterdammerung (excerpt). Brahms: Symphony No 1 in C minor. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 6.

Louise Fryer continues Radio 3's month of programmes complementing the BBC4 series "Symphony" - including every note of every Symphony featured in the television series.

Today she's joined live in the Afternoon on 3 studio by conductor Sir Mark Elder to discuss what Wagner's music is doing in a series about the Symphony and to celebrate the diversity of the Symphony itself in the late 1800s - in three very contrasting works from Germany, Bohemia and Russia. The programme begins with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales live at BBC Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff playing one of Dvorak's best-loved Symphonies.
