大象传媒

This week Louise Fryer presents recent performances by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, with a special focus on piano concertos as part of Radio 3's continuing Piano Season. Today, as bookends, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9 'Jeunehomme' and Anton Rubinstein's colossal Piano Concerto No. 4, from the Romantic Piano Concertos series on the Hyperion label pioneered by the 大象传媒 SSO back in 1990.

Plus a 大象传媒 SSO concert given in September as part of the Lammermuir Festival 2012 featuring Nielsen's overture 'Helios', Elgar's Cello Concerto - with soloist Narek Hakhnazaryan - and two works by Sibelius, Scene with Cranes (from his incidental music for Kuolema) and his Symphony No. 5.
