BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Episode 2

Penny Gore presents the BBC SSO in music by Glinka, Britten, Tchaikovsky and Mozart.

Penny Gore presents music from the BBC SSO. Glinka: Overture (Ruslan and Ludmila). Britten: Violin Concerto. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 5. Mozart, compl Robert Levin: Requiem, K626.

Penny Gore presents recent concerts by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The week's focus on five Fifth Symphonies continues with the greatly loved No 5 by Tchaikovsky. The programme also features one of the most exciting overtures in the orchestral repertoire, by Tchaikovsky's Russian forebear Glinka, and two works with tragic connotations: Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, coloured by the outbreak of World War Two in 1939, and Mozart's final, unfinished masterpiece - his Requiem, in a performing version by Robert Levin.
