Nicholas Maw, who celebrates his 70th birthday this year, wrote his orchestral work Odyssey between 1973 and 1987. It is a single, unbroken 96-minute span of symphonic music which has been unanimously praised since its initial performance by the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1987 at a BBC Prom. This concert at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios is presented by Andrew McGregor.
