大象传媒

Louise Fryer presents a week of performances by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and their Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlavek, who returned from their Far East tour just a few days ago. Alongside concerts they gave in China and Japan, you can hear - equally hot off the press - their brand-new cycle of all five Beethoven piano concertos with soloist Paul Lewis, who'll also be playing them all at the 2010 Proms. Plus another complete cycle - all six of Martinu's symphonies that Jiri Belohlavek has been conducting with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra this season.

Today there's a feast of concertos for various instruments, with star clarinettist Sabine Meyer playing Mozart in Beijing and Japanese violinist Mayuko Kamio taking Sibelius to Tokyo, alongside Beethoven's third piano concerto from Paul Lewis - all in a Martinu symphony sandwich.
