Last in the series Introduced by John Tusa The Leipzig Gewandhaus is one of Europe's greatest and oldest symphony orchestras. Under their Principal Conductor Kurt Masur they perform Mendelssohn's Symphony No 3 The Scottish. The Orchestra gave the first performance in 1842 conducted by the composer himself, who had been inspired to write it during a visit to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. To complete the programme - music by Richard Strauss with whom the orchestra has had a long association. Tonight they play his colourful symphonic poem Till Eulenspiegel based on the outrageous character from German folklore. John Tusa also talks to Kurt Masur about his relationship with the orchestra and about its illustrious past.
