BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, BBC Philharmonic and Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Episode 1

The BBC Philharmonic performs music by Rossini, Liszt, Bruch, Beethoven and Elgar.

Music from the BBC Philharmonic. Rossini: Overture (La Cenerentola). Liszt: Totentanz. Bruch: Concerto in E minor, Op 88. Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 4. Elgar: Symphony No 1.

Penny Gore presents a week of programmes focusing on recent performances by the BBC Philharmonic and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Today the emphasis is on the BBC Philharmonic, with pianist Martin Roscoe joining the orchestra in performances of Liszt's Totentanz and Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto. Then, Bruch's Concerto for clarinet, viola and orchestra, a late work in the composer's canon which makes good use of the tonal similarities between the two solo instruments. To finish, the BBC Philharmonic perform Elgar's 1st Symphony, which had its premiere in 1908 in Manchester, just up the road from the orchestra's home.

There's a chance to hear the BBC SSO play Elgar's 2nd Symphony in tomorrow's programme. The BBC Philharmonic return on Wednesday with a concert live from their home at MediaCity, Salford.
