BBC Proms 2018 Prom 14 - Sibelius, Schubert and Zimmermann (320kbps .mp3)

Live at BBC Proms: BBC Philharmonic and its Chief Guest Conductor John Storgards are joined by Elizabeth Watts and Louis Lortie.

Sibelius's genre-bending Seventh unfolds in a continuous musical gesture of expansive, if characteristically enigmatic, nobility. Centenary composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Symphony in One Movement is another assault on tradition that kicks against Wagner's rousing overture to The Mastersingers of Nuremberg. Four popular Schubert songs and his formidable 'Wanderer' Fantasy get a colourful orchestral upscaling.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London, presented by Sarah Walker.
