Performance on 3

on BBC Radio 3

Paul Guinery presents a concert live from the Barbican in London to mark
Hans Werner Henze 's 80th birthday with the UK premiere of the Scorribanda Sinfonica (2001).
And the concert ends with what promises to be a gripping new take on Tchaikovsky.
Nelson Freire (piano), BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor Manfred Honeck
Hans Werner Henze Scorribanda Sinfonica Beethoven Piano Concerto No 4 in G
8.20 Twenty Minutes: The Concert Pianist
An excerpt from Conrad Williams 's recent novel, narrated by Robert Bathurst , tells of the concert pianist Philip Morahan , who can no longer play the piano. He can do everything else, but he can't play the piano, as there are too many distractions - his agent, his girlfriend, his protege, his reviews. All overwhelm him in a poignant and comic way.
8.40 Tchaikovsky Symphony No 5 in E minor
