Summary
Kazuki Yamada conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, featuring Wagner, a new Anna Clyne viola concerto with Lawrence Power, and Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben.
Why it's fantastic
Wagner wrote this tender opening piece as a private birthday surprise for his wife, performed secretly on their villa stairs. It sets a serene mood before the programme shifts towards the premiere of a new viola concerto and a grand musical autobiography that requires over one hundred players on stage.
