Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements from the ĢƵ Proms
Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Stravinsky from the ĢƵ Proms, Medtner from Verbier and Chopin from Granada.
Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of great summer music making with concert performances from home and abroad, including highlights from the ĢƵ Proms, plus exclusive recordings from the Verbier Music Festival and the Granada Music Festival.
On today’s programme, there is another chance to hear Monday night’s Prom. The Juilliard Orchestra and Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen join together to perform Stravinsky’s energetic Symphony in Three Movements. Elsewhere, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra along with conductor Adam Hickox perform Shostakovich's Festive Overture, which was recorded at Bristol Beacon as part of the ĢƵ Proms Across the U.K. series.
From the Verbier Music Festival, Medtner's Piano Quintet in C is performed by a star line-up: Daniel Lozakovich, Paloma So, Timothy Ridout, Kian Soltani and Yunchan Lim and from the Granada Festival, pianist Yulianna Avdeeva plays Chopin.
Ahead of tonight’s highly anticipated ĢƵ Prom with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, featuring Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and the UK premiere of a work by Gabriela Ortiz, we have an exclusive live recording from Madrid of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto with Javier Perianes and the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana.
