The Austro-German tradition from Haydn to Mahler

The London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski brings its year-long survey of Mahler's music to a close with Mahler's Songs from 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn' ('The Youth's Magic Horn'), in which the composer sketched many of the moods and motifs that found their way into his Second, Third and Fourth Symphonies. The programme also features Haydn's Symphony No 88 in G; and Brahms's powerful Symphony No 4. With baritone Christian Gerhaher.
