Duelling drums and the raw power of life itself, as Michael Seal conducts Nielsen’s explosive Fourth Symphony.
“Music is life - and like it, inextinguishable!” declared Carl Nielsen, and no recording has ever done justice to his volcanic Fourth Symphony. In short, it’s unstoppable and you simply have to hear it live. CBSO Associate Conductor Michael Seal unleashes it today and shares the life-affirming music of Adrian Sutton, the British composer behind the much-loved War Horse.
