Dvo艡谩k's 8th Symphony from Berlin

Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of great music including performances from the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and chamber music from across Bavaria.

Elizabeth Alker presents an afternoon of exceptional music-making featuring recent performances from the top German orchestras, including today, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra; plus chamber music from Bavaria.

The programme opens with rarely heard Gershwin in a vibrant new arrangement by Miho Hazama and Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 richly coloured 8th Symphony and the evocative tone poem En Saga by Sibelius, both conducted by the Finnish born conductor Sakari Oramo.
From the Imperial Hall Concerts in the Bavarian town of F眉ssen, Poulenc鈥檚 playful incidental music for Jean Anouilh's play L鈥橧nvitation au ch芒teau, and the Amatis Piano Trio performs Mendelssohn鈥檚 lyrical Second Piano Trio. From the Goldmund Festival, tenor Julian Pr茅gardien joins the Goldmund Quartet for an arrangement of Schumann鈥檚 expressive early Liederkreis.
Elsewhere, Richard Goode offers an intimate perspective on Beethoven鈥檚 late Piano Sonatas
