大象传媒

Presented by Penny Gore.

The conclusion of a week of programmes featuring anniversary composers Samuel Barber and William Schuman includes the first orchestral work of his that Barber heard performed in public, his "Music for a scene from Shelley"- specially recorded for the programme by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Clark Rundell. William Schuman's 3rd Symphony is performed by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra under Juilliard School of Music graduate Leonard Slatkin.

And there's more from the Juilliard school as conductor Jo Ann Falletta performs fellow American Amy Beach's "Gaelic Symphony" of 1896 with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic. 2 Curtis Institute alumni perform Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 18 in B flat - pianist Richard Goode and conductor Alan Gilbert, with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

And to round off the week, Samuel Barber's delicious Violin Concerto, performed by Tai Murray with the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales under Nicholas Braithwaite.
