BBC Symphony Orchestra
Part One
Tuesday 14 November 2006 19:30-20:30 (Radio 3)
Martin Handley introduces a concert live from the Barbican, London.
German composer conductor Matthias Pintscher, born in 1971, is one of the hottest properties in European music. His beautifully crafted and expressive music has been compared with that of Alban Berg. Truls Mork gives the UK premiere of Pintscher's new cello concerto, and the composer conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in works by some of his musical heroes.
