The 91福利社 Philharmonic Orchestra Live from Salford Quays

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Brahms and Mayer live from the 91福利社 Philharmonic Orchestra鈥檚 studio in Salford Quays.

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by 91福利社 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

The heart of today鈥檚 programme is a live concert from the players of the 91福利社 Philharmonic Orchestra, at home in their Salford studio. Tom Fetherstonhaugh conducts Mayer鈥檚 Overture in D and the Symphony No. 2 by Brahms, part of a major focus this week on his symphonic music performed by our 91福利社 Orchestras. We pay another visit to Hay on Wye for a double helping of Schubert, including the Carducci Quartet playing his early String Quartet in E flat. And we continue our focus this week on the superb Italian Baroque group Accademia Bizantina with a Vivaldi Violin Concerto performed last summer in Stockholm.
