BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, BBC Philharmonic in Recent Concerts, Episode 1

The BBC Philharmonic performs music by Haydn, Schubert, HK Gruber, Brahms and Sibelius.

Louise Fryer with music from the BBC Philharmonic. Haydn: Overture (Armida). Schubert: Einsamkeit. HK Gruber: Northwind Pictures. Brahms: Violin Concerto. Sibelius: Symphony No 1.

The BBC Philharmonic plays Schubert, Brahms, Sibelius and HK Gruber's Northwind Pictures.
Based on his deliciously daft fairytale opera, Mr North Wind, HK Gruber's new work includes the stormy entrance of Mr North Wind, dance sequences, the preparation of the feast at the monastery and the battle of the baseball thugs.
Also this week a piece by Sibelius each day and some fascinating new scores from HK Gruber, Kurt Schwertsik, David Matthews and Anthony Payne. And as part of Verdi 200, Thurday's Opera matinée is I due Foscari starring José Carreras.
