Radio 3's American Roadtrip: The Philadelphia Orchestra
Dalia Stasevska conducts Mahler's Symphony No. 4, with soprano Joélle Harvey, while Augustin Hadelich is the soloist in Barber's violin concerto.
As Radio 3 marks the 250th anniversary of the United States' Declaration of Independence, we continue our survey of American music making with this specially recorded concert at the Marian Anderson Hall - the home of The Philadelphia Orchestra in the city's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. The celebrated violinist Augustin Hadelich joins the orchestra to perform Barber's violin concerto, while conductor Dalia Stasevska takes the helm in Mahler's fourth symphony with the soprano Joélle Harvey. And, the programme begins with John Adam's fanfare opener, Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
