German composer Charlotte Seither adapts the words of the 17th-century poet Francesco de Lemene in a new work for the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Singers and the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra, using voices and syllables as spots of 'human colour'. Josep Pons conducts this world premiere alongside the 1947 version of Stravinsky's Petrushka, the a cappella motets Ave Maria and Pater noster, and the four-minute novelty Scherzo à la russe, written in Hollywood for the bandleader Paul Whiteman.
Another German, the distinguished violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, plays the concerto that Johannes Brahms composed for his great friend, Joseph Joachim.
