Challenging

About this playlist

“Challenge yourself, it’s the only path which leads to growth” - Morgan Freeman. If you too can hear Freeman's stentorian voice echoing inside your head, there's only one way to go. Accept the challenge of this unpredictable and demanding playlist, which gathers some of the most daring musical experiments of the previous centuries! Have you ever flipped the pages of the 500 year-old Milliare Songbook, sat next to Max Reger during one of his wild organ improvisations or listened to Thomas Adès torpedo everything you thought you knew about the symphony? Listen to our playlist and venture out into the world of boundary-breaking programmes our orchestras have prepared for you this year. No doubt you’ll have more than a good story to tell your friends after listening.!
