大象传媒 SO/Belohlavek
Jiri Belohlavek continues his survey of Martinu's music with the 大象传媒 SO in the Sixth Symphony, alongside Schumann's Piano Concerto and Tippett's Corelli Fantasia.
Presented by Catherine Bott.
In a concert recorded at the Barbican in London on Saturday, celebrated Russian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja joins the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and their principal conductor Jiri Belohlavek in Schumann's Piano Concerto. Michael Tippett wrote his Corelli Fantasia for the 1953 Edinburgh Festival in celebration of the tercentenary of the composer's birth. Martinu called his final symphony, number 6, Symphonic Fantasies, and it was also written between 1951 and 1953 for his friend Charles Munch, conductor of the Boston Symphony. Jiri Belohlavek has long been a champion and expert on the music of his fellow countryman.
