BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Episode 3

Katie Derham presents the BBC NOW in music by Adams, Tuur, Jolivet and Copland.

Music performed by the BBC NOW. Adams: Chairman Dances. Tuur: Exodus. Jolivet: Cello Concerto No 2 (with Marc Coppey). Copland: Clarinet Concerto (with Shabaka Hutchings).

Estonian conductor Olari Elts leads the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in a LIVE concert at BBC Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff: a varied programme of music from America and his homeland. Radio 3 New Generation Artist Shabaka Hutchings is the soloist for Copland's dancing Clarinet Concerto and we hear the elemental savagery of Erkki-Sven Tuur's recent work Exodus. Plus Katie Derham concludes the portrait of French composer Andre Jolivet, with his second cello concerto performed by French cellist Marc Coppey.
