The Philharmonia
Yuri Temirkanov, conductor

Yuri Temirkanov, a frequent visitor to London's Royal Festival Hall, conducts the Philharmonia in two of the most popular works in the repertoire: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 with the star young Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin as soloist, and Dvor谩k's New World Symphony.
Written in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America, The New World Symphony explodes with American folk-inspired rhythms and melodies. However, Dvor谩k does not completely shun the infectious folk music of his native Bohemia, the influence of which can be heard throughout the symphony.
