Afternoon on 3 - with Verity Sharp

Another chance to hear the BBC Philharmonic with Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena perform a symphony by Schubert, the world premiere of 'Instability' by Luke Bedford, and a Bruckner Mass.

Presented from the Royal Albert Hall by Petroc Trelawny

Schubert: Symphony No. 4 in C minor 'Tragic'
Luke Bedford: Instability (BBC commission) (world premiere)
Bruckner: Mass No. 3 in F minor

Luba Orgonášová (soprano)
Jennifer Johnston (mezzo-soprano)
Robert Dean Smith (tenor)
Derek Welton (bass-baritone)
Orfeón Pamplonés
BBC Philharmonic
Juanjo Mena (conductor)

Although composed for the church, it is in the concert hall that the dramatic scale of Bruckner's mighty Mass in F minor comes into its own. A new commission from Luke Bedford puts the Royal Albert Hall's great organ in the spotlight, while opening the concert is Schubert's 'Tragic' Symphony, music of high drama seen through the eyes of a composer still in his teens.

[First broadcast last Saturday]

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.
