Live from London's Wigmore Hall

Classical Live

Available for 26 days

Fiona Talkington brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a live concert from London's Wigmore Hall with Radio 3 New Generaton Artists, the violinist Hana Chang and pianist Elisabeth Brauss. Their programme consists of expressive, Romantic-influenced works by Clara and Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Lili Boulanger and Cesar Franck, all designed to showcase the wonderful musical partnership of these rising stars of the classical music world. Elsewhere in the programme, Italian vistas - The Ulster Orchestra and conductor Olari Elts perform Mendelssohn's evocative Fourth Symphony - the 'Italian' - and the RAI National Symphony Orchestra perform Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture, recorded in Turin. Also featured is a recital from La Scintilla Orchestra and conductor Riccardo Minasi who perform music by Dario Castello and Pachelbel's renowned Canon and Gigue. There are also studio recordings from other current Radio 3 New Generation Artists - pianist Tom Borrow plays Chopin's much loved Polonaise-fantasy and the NOVO quartet performs music by Joseph Haydn.
