RADIO 3 IN CONCERT

7.30PM, RADIO 3 ★★★★

Gustav Mahler endured heartbreak, terrible grief, pain and serious illness throughout his life, yet so much of his music floats serenely across the air, taking us to a place of limitless horizons and into infinity. The soprano Aphrodite Patoulidou (right) is the soloist in this concert from the Barbican, which includes Mahler’s

Symphony No 4, with its touching song of a child’s vision of heaven, where the angels bake the bread and St Martha is the cook.
