Kirill Petrenko conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in Zemlinsky's headily romantic Lyric Symphony. Plus there's music by Brahms, Stravinsky and Italian composer Leone Sinigaglia, a contemporary of Respighi.

Presented by Ian Skelly

Alexander Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony is written on the largest scale, for huge orchestra and two vocal soloists - it's lush and soaring, perhaps the most Mahlerian symphony Mahler didn't write... Brahms's crisp tribute to Handel is also on the bill, as well as music by Stravinsky and Schoenberg.
