Recorded at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maida Vale studios in February, a concert celebrating the music of the late Hans Werner Henze, performed by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra under Oliver Knussen. The programme includes one of the German composer's very last works, Ouverture zu einem Theater, his poetry-inspired Liebeslieder featuring cellist Anssi Karttunen as soloist, his orchestral fantasy Los Caprichos, named after Goya's etchings of the same name, and a set of pieces for two pianos by four younger composers, written in tribute to Henze on the occasion of his 75th birthday in 2001. Presented by Tom Service in conversation with Oliver Knussen.
