Radio 3 in Concert: Boulanger and Bruckner

Fiona Talkington presents Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in Bruckner and Boulanger in a concert from this year's Lucerne Festival. Nézet-Séguin is a great advocate of the work of Lili Boulanger, who died in 1918 at the age of only 24. D'un soir triste is a delicate tone painting that marks her farewell to the world. Anton Bruckner described his Eighth Symphony as a mystery, without, however, revealing its secret. Boulanger: D'un soir triste; Bruckner: Symphony No 8 in C minor (Robert Haas edition).
