Strauss’s luminous Four Last Songs and Wagner’s shimmering Prelude to Act I of Parsifal set the tone for a concert rich in melody and orchestral beauty, which climaxes in Danish composer Per Norgard’s extraordinary, eclectic Third Symphony.

Premiered in 1976, Per Nørgård’s Third Symphony is one of the great contemporary symphonies – a Danish classic that has never before been performed in the UK. Suffused with glowing microtones and thick, textural beauty, the eclectic score draws on everything from plainchant to Latin-American rhythms to spin its extraordinary narrative.

Thomas Dausgaard and the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scottish Symphony Orchestra preface it with two works of equal sonic breadth: Wagner’s exquisite musical meditation, the Prelude to Act 1 of Parsifal, and the autumnal warmth of Strauss’s Four Last Songs, sung by Swedish soprano Malin Byström.
