| The BBC Symphony Orchestra has played a central role at the heart of British musical life since it was founded in 1930, and is passionately committed to performing 20th-century and contemporary music. Central to the Orchestra’s life are studio recordings for BBC Radio 3 at the Orchestra’s Maida Vale home, some of which are free for the public to attend. Orchestra’s chief conductor is Czech Jirí Belohlávek. Neeme Järvi is once again in front of the orchestra in April 2012 with Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2. |  BBC Symphony Orchestra Photo: Lara Platman |
Tõnu Kõrvits’s six-part work was first performed in 2007 in Tallinn with Anu Tali conducting. The source of inspiration is the wind, powerful natural organ, whose musical images arisen of spontaneous movement can create subtle compositions.
Live broadcast can be listened on October 25 at 2 pm (according to local time) on BBC Radio 3.
