Episode overview

Schoenberg's 'Gurrelieder' conducted by Pierre Boulez Gurra is the name of a Danish castle. Schoenberg, later to become the self-confessed 'bogeyman of 20th-century music' composed his massive, romantic work Songs of Gurra on near operatic scale - a kind of post-Wagnerian Tristan and Isolde.
