Towards the end of his life, Ernest John Moeran was working on his second Symphony, inspired by the mountains of Kerry. On the 1st of December 1950, during an overcast and stormy day, Moeran was spotted walking towards the end of the pier at Kenmare in County Kerry. As he made to return, Moeran fell, possibly from a brain haemorrhage, and he never got to complete this work. Conductor Martin Yates has now realised and completed this second Symphony, and joins Stephen Johnson to discuss Moeran's last major orchestral project.
