大象传媒

This week Afternoon on 3 features the 大象传媒 Philharmonic, marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Hindemith in 1963, and presenting brand-new recordings of all five of Prokofiev's Piano Concertos with soloist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. On Wednesday there's a live concert by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and their Principal Guest Conductor John Storgards, with music by Shostakovich and Nielsen as well as Hindemith.

Today's programme includes two Prokofiev Piano Concertos - the first and last, his Fifth. Between them you can hear two of Hindemith's greatest works as well as a homage to him by Walton and music by Weber, who inspired him.
