Synopsis
Zurich's Tonhalle Orchestra makes a welcome return for a programme which includes music by Wagner, Beethoven and Richard Strauss. With David Zinman wielding the baton, the orchestra begins with the tempestuous overture to The Flying Dutchman by Wagner, followed by Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 3 in C Minor, featuring pianist Emanuel Ax. Finally, the Royal Albert Hall will be filled with the rousing opening bars of Stanley Kubrick's epic 2001: a Space Odyssey, part of Richard Strauss 's lofty tone poem. Also Sprach Zarathustra. Alan Titchmarsh hosts this recording of the August Bank Holiday concert.
