Danish National Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Dausgaard conducts his Danish forces in Tchaikovsky's ever-captivating Violin Concerto and Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, overwhelming in its nobly expansive final-movement 'Swan Hymn' climax. Three short choral pieces by György Ligeti - including Lux aeterna, heard in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey - take us to ethereal heights, while Ligeti himself recognised the mesmeric, free-floating character of Rued Langgaard's 1918 Music of the Spheres as prefiguring his own style. Finish time: approx. 22:05 Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3
