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 everything comes with a number four: Beethoven's most beautiful piano concerto between the most dramatic symphonies by both Martinu and Brahms.

2.35pm
Beethoven: Piano Concerto no. 4 in G major, Op. 58
