Tom McKinney presents live recordings of Dvorak, Ginastera and Saariaho by the BBC Philharmonic.

Dvořák, Ginastera, and Saariaho from live recordings by the BBC Philharmonic. Beginning with Arthur Benjamin’s wartime piece for viola, we'll also hear a Dvořák symphony written for the Philharmonic Society in London and a Saariaho piece whose postscript comes from T. S. Eliot’s poem 'The Waste Land'.
