Penny Gore presents a week of performances by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, beginning with a concert recorded in Perth Concert Hall of music by Smetana, Chopin & Dvorak.

Penny Gore presents a week of performances by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, beginning today with a concert the orchestra gave in Perth Concert Hall. We open with two of the poems from Smetana's mighty & evocative Ma vlast (My country); firstly Vltava, the composer's musical portrait of the river running through Prague, followed by 艩arka, the tale of a warrior maiden burning for revenge. David Kadouch is the soloist in Chopin's 2nd piano concerto and the concert ends with Dvorak's 4th symphony in which we can hear his distinctive compositional style really coming into its own. Plus highlights from the orchestra's recent European tour with violinist Nikolaj Znaider.
