Friday - Live with the BBC Philharmonic

Tom McKinney with the best classical music performed by BBC ensembles and orchestras across Europe.

Mark Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Philharmonic live from Salford's MediaCity in a concert including Mozart’s overture to La Clemenza di Tito, Haydn’s “Clock” Symphony and Mozart’s Symphony No.40. In between the two symphonies, while the orchestra re-sets, you can hear a recording of Edward MacDowell’s deeply romantic “Keltic” piano sonata.

Also in the programme, Copland’s Billy the Kid Suite from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, more Baroque vocal music from Capella Marianna in Prague and a highlight from last year’s London International Festival of Early Music.
