Schreker’s Chamber Symphony is as heady as music gets: a lush, soaring, glistening wonder, sounding like fin-de siècle Vienna but written during the Great War. Sir Mark Elder makes his first appearance with the BBC SSO since 1995 and opens this concert with the first of Bach’s famous Brandenburg Concertos. Stravinsky is our stepping stone between centuries in the shape of ballet music that looks back to Bach, written in exile in the Hollywood hills.

All three works performed tonight will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
