Penny Gore with music linked to the New World. Dvorak: Carnival Overture. Korngold: Violin Concerto. Dvorak: The Noonday Witch. Salonen: Wing on Wing. Gershwin: Piano Concerto.
Exploring the New World in the spirit of Dvorak, we go to Hollywood and the West Coast with Korngold's lyrical concerto and Salonen's dramatic work for two sopranos and orchestra inspired by Frank Gehry's shiny sail-style architecture for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Moving from West to East at 4pm, former 大象传媒 Moscow Correspondent Martin Sixsmith joins presenter Penny Gore to introduce a performance of Shostakovich's Symphony no 2 as part his series Russia: The Wild East, tracing the course of 1000 years of Russian history, on Radio 4.
