Tuesday - BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus

Jonathan Swain continues his week of performances and recordings by the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Today's programme begins with the orchestra in concert at the Barbican two weeks ago, with repertoire including the UK premiere of Thomas Larcher's Red and Green, and Bruch's Concerto for 2 Pianos and Orchestra. There's Polish music too - the Orchestra is joined by the BBC Symphony Chorus and tenor Ben Johnson for a new recording of Szymanowski's Symphony no.3, and Tasmin Little is soloist in Karlowicz's Violin Concerto. Plus the Orchestra celebrate Afternoon Concert's tone poem theme with works by Musorgsky and Saint-Saens.
