Ημερομηνία προβολής: Σεπ 13, 1996

Live from the Royal Albert Hall in London. To mark the centenary of the death of Anton Bruckner , a sequence of his choral music makes up part one of tonight's programme. The BBC Singers are conducted by Jane Glover and organist John Scott opens the concert by playing the Prelude and Fugue in C Minor. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in D Minor, The Choral, forms the second half of the programme, with Sir Georg Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Singers and the London Voices. During the interval, he talks to James Naughtie about the two decades he has spent as Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
