Mahler's all embracing 'Resurrection' Symphony opens a week of concerts by Ireland's RTE National Symphony Orchestra recorded in Dublin during their 2018/19 season.

Plus music by Gerard Victory, a prolific Irish composer who described his output as a 'crowded landscape where plants of every kind imaginable rub shoulders uneasily', and the penultimate Piano Concerto of John Field, performed by Venetian pianist Alessandro Taverna.
