BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

With music by Louise Farrenc, Robert Schumann, Beethoven, Dalby, Bennett and Walthew.

Fiona Talkington with music by Louise Farrenc, Robert Schumann, Beethoven, Dalby, Bennett and Walthew, taken from concerts and sessions from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Fiona Talkington introduces a week of music, recorded at recent sessions and concerts, performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony under a variety of conductors. Today we feature the Overture in E flat by Louise Farrenc, followed by Robert Schumann's Concerto for piano in A minor with soloist Elizabeth Leonskaja; then two Beethoven pieces starting with his Rondo a capriccio, orchestrated by Schulhoff, then his Symphony No. 8 in F major. Next comes the beautiful 'Nozze di Primavera' by the composer, music producer and former head of music at BBC Scotland Martin Dalby. The piece was a wedding gift to his wife and quotes an enchanting ancient wedding hymn. Then three orchestral pieces by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett: Troubadour Music, Aubade and Anniversaries. The afternoon ends with Richard Walthew's Clarinet Concerto with Robert Plane as soloist.
