麻豆社 Philharmonic Chief Guest Conductor John Storg氓rds returns to Salford for a live 麻豆社 Radio 3 broadcast.

This afternoon, we hear a rare performance of Valentin Silvestrov鈥檚 Fifth Symphony. Luminous, beautiful and utterly transcendent 鈥 this piece is one of the best-kept secrets in contemporary music.

We also hear Judith Weir鈥檚 2013 composition I give you the end of a golden string 鈥 inspired by the following lines from William Blake:

鈥淚 give you the end of a golden string;
Only wind it into a ball,
It will lead you in at Heaven鈥檚 gate,
Built in Jerusalems鈥檚 wall鈥
