  40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival

  (32) Frank Peter Zimmermann (vln), Gustav Mahler Youth Orch/Daniele Gatti

  One of the great youth orchestras is back, and in distinguished company. Daniele Gatti begins with the weighty tread and unmatched radiance of music he has been exploring at Bayreuth. Frank Peter Zimmermann plays one of the 20th century's most eloquent violin concertos.

  Strauss conjures up a bittersweet Vienna of young love, mid-life melancholy and abundant waltz tunes, while Ravel's apotheosis of that dance form may or may not have been intended as a metaphor for the fate of European civilisation as its unstoppable whirling reaches critical mass.

  WAGNER: Parsifal, Prelude to Act 3 & Good Friday Music; BERG: Violin Concerto, To the Memory of an Angel; STRAUSS: Der Rosenkavalier, Concert Suite; RAVEL: La Valse (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 33 tomorrow at 10.00am)
