Royal Liverpool Philharmonic & Sophie Bevan - Mahler Symphony No.4

There’s nothing the human voice can’t do.

In Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, it paints a picture of heaven at the end of a journey through blue skies, summer storms and shining mountain peaks.

Meanwhile, Grace-Evangeline Mason’s exciting new piece has been created especially for our soloist Sophie Bevan, a soprano with a voice of pure gold.

Strauss’ Don Juan kicks things off in truly swashbuckling style.
