Summary
Natalya Romaniw joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Paweł Kapuła at the Royal Albert Hall for Strauss’s Four Last Songs alongside works by Schubert, Mahler, and Henze.
Why it's fantastic
These sunset-hued songs offer a poignant farewell to the world, providing the perfect showcase for Natalya Romaniw’s soaring soprano voice. You will also hear Schubert’s most famous fragment, a two-movement symphony that remains one of music’s greatest mysteries because the composer simply never finished it.
