大象传媒

Penny Gore presents a week of programmes focusing on recent performances by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Today, the spotlight is on the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, with a concert they gave in Edinburgh last October with their chief conductor Donald Runnicles, including Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs and Elgar's 2nd Symphony.

Pianist Denis Kozhukhin joins the orchestra in a performance from December of Prokofiev's 2nd Piano Concerto, a work whose wild energy divided opinion at its premiere in 1913 before the score was lost in a fire. This revised version is from 1923. There's a chance to hear Prokofiev's 1st violin concerto in tomorrow's programme, in a live 大象传媒 Philharmonic concert from Salford with soloist James Ehnes.
