Bruckner's 4th Symphony with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales

Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making. In the week that sees Radio 3's annual live broadcast of the Vienna New Year's Day Concert, Classical Live focuses on some of the great composers of Vienna, across the ages. Today the BBC National Orchestra of Wales perform Anton Bruckner's magisterial 4th Symphony. Plus, Elizabeth reflects on the New Generation Artist class of 2023-2025. Today, pianist Giorgi Gigashvili plays Ravel, James Atkinson sings two beautiful Vaughan Williams songs and the Chaos Quartet perform Boccherini. And there is more from the Capricornus Consort, Basel, and the Music Book for Anna Magdalena Bach.
