Music to accompany the ±«Óãtv Four Symphony series. Wagner: Prelude (Tristan und Isolde). Bruckner: Symphony No 3 in D minor. Sibelius: Kullervo.

Louise Fryer continues Radio 3's month of programmes complementing the ±«Óãtv4 series "Symphony" - including every note of every Symphony featured in the television series. This week the Afternoon on 3 series reaches the late 1800s and discovers the Symphony spreading beyond its Austro-German heartland - today, to Finland, with Sibelius - and its techniques transplanted into the opera house by a controversial genius, Richard Wagner - whose music dramas in turn inspired Bruckner in his Third Symphony.
