Nicholas Carter and the Munich Radio Orchestra lead us through a collection of beautiful, early 20th century music, including guest soprano Verity Wingate in two works by Samuel Barber: Cleopatra’s final aria (Death of Cleopatra) from Anthony and Cleopatra, plus Knoxville: Summer of 1915. Rounding out the program are as well as Britten’s “Four Sea Interludes” from Peter Grimes, plus the fifth symphony of Ralph Vaughan Williams.
