Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra

With Penny Gore. The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra in a concert of Wagner, Marx and Strauss given at the Barbican. Plus the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic in Pierne and the Ulster Orchestra in Bliss.

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra begins a week of live and recently recorded music from Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ performing groups on Afternoon on Three, with a concert given last Saturday at the Barbican under conductor Jirí Belohlávek. After Wagner's stirring Tannhäuser Overture, soprano Christine Brewer performs songs by Joseph Marx, and the concert finishes with Richard Strauss's epic Alpine Symphony.

This week Afternoon on Three also joins in Radio 3's Checkmate theme with readings about chess and related music.

Presented by Penny Gore.
