Ian Skelly presents the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simon Rattle, recorded at the Barbican last night. The programme comprises the final works of Michael Tippett and Gustav Mahler. Tippett described The Rose Lake as a song without words for orchestra, and was inspired by journeys to Lake Retba in Senegal. Mahler's final symphony was written as he suffered with a fatal heart condition, and was left incomplete at his death.
