Werk: Musik für Orchester

Unter der Leitung von David Afkham spielten die Göteborger Symphoniker eine kluge und transparente Aufführung von Beethovens Fünfter Symphonie.

Vaughan Williams' Pastoral Symphony is anything but "lambkins frisking", drawing on the composer's experiences in the First World War. In this poignant concert, it was partnered by a trio of works by composers - from both sides of the trenches - who died in action.
