大象传媒

The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra begin this afternoon with a live concert from the 大象传媒 Maida Vale studios, introduced by Andrew McGregor. Clarinettist, composer and former 大象传媒 Young Musician of the Year Mark Simpson joins the orchestra for Magnus Lindberg's stunning Clarinet Concerto. And Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Apollon Musag猫te Quartet are the orchestra's partners in a Martinu concerto continuing this week's theme of twentieth century music inspired by older music.

The 大象传媒 Singers continue that theme with beautiful choral music from the 1920s and 1930s inspired by Renaissance polyphony, and this week's featured orchestra, the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, play a Stravinsky Concerto with Baroque roots, plus Rachmaninov.

Presented by Louise Fryer.
