Music by Tarrodi, Bystrom, Mozart and Gounod from festivals in Finland, Latvia, Romania and Denmark in 2019.  Plus Alexander Mogilevsky plays Chopin's Piano Concerto No 2 in 2003.

Tom McKinney continues his week devoted to recordings from European Summer Festivals held in 2019.

Today’s programme begins at Our Festival in Järvenpää, Finland, with the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra playing Scandinavian contemporary music by Esa-Pekka Salonen and Andrea Tarrodi. We continue the Baltic theme with music by Britta Bystrom and Andris Dzenitis from the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra Festival in Rezekne, before heading to Romania for a performance of Mozart at the Magic Summer Festival. And we close with more from the Tivoli opera gala concert in Denmark and two arias by Rossini and Gounod.

Also, throughout the week, Tom will be delving into the archive of the Lugano Festival and an all-Chopin concert given as part of the Martha Argerich Project in 2003. Today’s highlight is a performance of Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto by Alexander Mogilevsky.
