Michael Francis and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic perform a programme that begins with Gade’s Hamlet Overture – a true dramatic musical portrayal of Shakespeare’s play.

Before the interval, cellist Jakob Kullberg shares one of Norgard’s most intimate compositions, Between, exploring the relationship between soloist and orchestra.

Then, after the interval, there’s Carl Nielsen's rhapsody overture An Imaginary Trip to the Faroe Islands, followed by Maxwell Davies’s, Ebb of Winter, inspired by the ever-changing Orkney weather.

The concert concludes with The Oceanides, Sibelus’s tone poem for orchestra, denoting the nymphs in Greek mythology who inhabited the Mediterranean Sea.

This is a live broadcast for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 3 and will be presented by Andrew McGregor.
