Andris Nelsons conducts sumptuous works of the 20th century

In this ingenious programme, Andris Nelsons presents composers from the early 20th century who were creatively and innovatively inspired by music of the past – such as Gregorian chant, revitalised by Hans Pfitzner in his prelude to Palestrina, Baroque music in Heinrich Kaminski’s Dorian Music, and the Viennese waltz in Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier. Wolfgang Rihm’s Marsyas, in contrast, is thoroughly modern yet always melodious.
