Mendelssohn and Wagner from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
Mark Forrest presents a concert recorded at Symphony Hall in Birmingham on May 28. American mezzo Jamie Barton makes her debut with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Wagner's sumptuous Wesendonck Lieder, settings of five poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, one of the several women with whom the composer fell deeply in love. Written as Wagner began working on his opera Tristan and Isolde, the songs share the opera's philosophical grounding and its intensity of passion. Felix Mendelssohn's music provides the perfect counterbalance, and the concert begins and ends with two of his most beloved works - the overture to his incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream and his Symphony No 4, inspired by his travels in Italy. Also on the programme is Roxanna Panufnik's Alma's Songs without Words, imaginative orchestral versions of three songs by Alma Mahler. Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Overture). Wagner: Wesendonck Lieder. Interval music - Fanny Mendelssohn: Songs without Words (selection). Olga Pashcenko (pianoforte). Roxanna Panufnik: Alma's Songs without Words.

Martin Handley presents from the Royal Festival Hall as Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Mahler's Fourth Symphony, with soprano Jennifer France joining for Hans Abrahamsen's modern classic Let Me Tell You. It is a song-cycle based on Paul Griffiths' novel of the same name and follows the narrative of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet as she tells her tragic story from her own perspective. Mahler's playful Fourth Symphony is the last of his Wunderhorn symphonies, and it includes the song setting Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly Life), which depicts a child's dream of heaven.
