London Philharmonic - Martinu, Liszt, Dvorak

Marin Alsop leads the London Philharmonic. Martinu: Symphony No 6. Liszt: Piano Concerto No 1 in E flat; Piano Concerto No 2 in A (soloist: Stephen Hough). Dvorak: Symphony No 8.

Live from the Royal Festival Hall

Martin Handley presents a concert in which Marin Alsop conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme where Liszt's first two piano concertos are framed by two Czech masterpieces. But whilst Martinu wrote his vibrant Sixth Symphony with the conductor Charles Munch very much in mind, Dvorak wrote his Eighth Symphony to satisfy nobody but himself. As he remarked, it is 'a work singing of the joy of green pastures, of summer evenings, of the melancholy of blue forests, of the defiant merry-making of the Czech peasants'.
