Celebrating Cesar Franck 5/5

Otto Tausk conducts Franck's Redemption, and the Liege Royal Philharmonic Orchestra complete their performance of Franck's opera Hulda. Plus, music by Debussy and Sibelius.

Orchestral works by Franck, Debussy and Sibelius plus the final part of Franck's dramatic opera Hulda.

Presented by Penny Gore.

Conductor Marius Constant made a fine suite from Debussy's sumptuous opera of doomed love, Pelleas and Melisande, and it's joined in today's programme by the last part of Franck's little-heard opera Hulda. There's exquisite early vocal music from Belgian group Graindelavoix and Sibelius's very last symphony
