Brett Dean ‘Knocking at the Hellgate’, BBC Symphony Orchestra

Brett Dean Knocking at the Hellgate, Richard Strauss Ein Heldenleben 

BBC Symphony Orchestra | Sakari Oramo  conductor | Russell Braun  baritone

The BBC SO and its Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo launch the season with a UK premiere by its Artist in Association Brett Dean. Knocking at Hellgate is drawn from Dean’s much-admired 2010 opera Bliss and they are joined by the Canadian baritone Russell Braun. Richard Strauss’s epic and autobiographical celebration of a Hero’s Life, one of his most extravagant and popular tone-poems, provides late-romantic splendour.
