Performers

Radio 3 In Concert - Centenary Simpson

Complementing last week's "Composer of the Week" the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Martyn Brabbins present a live performance of Robert Simpson's Second Symphony.

With a Beethoven-sized orchestra, Simpson packs a sonic punch. The central movement delights in its exploration of structure and shape.

Steven Osborne joins the orchestra for another piece with an innovative middle movement, Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto, in which the soloist was famously compared to Orpheus taming the wild beasts.

Programme

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 4

Simpson: Symphony No 2
