Summary
Anthony Hermus conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Brangwyn Hall, featuring soprano Katherine Dain in Strauss’s Four Last Songs and Henk de Vlieger’s arrangement of Tristan and Isolde.
Why it's fantastic
These farewell songs by Strauss capture the feeling of a long, golden sunset before the world goes quiet. The evening concludes with a clever orchestral journey through Wagner’s famous tale of forbidden love, letting the instruments tell the whole story without needing a single word from the singers.
