Larks, bards and symphonies in Minnesota and Seoul

Fiona Talkington introduces highlights of classical concerts from the US and South Korea, including music by Gounod, Vaughan Williams, Tchaikovsky and Glazunov.

Highlights from classical concerts recorded in the US and South Korea. Gallic charm meets English pastoral whimsy in the music of Gounod and Vaughan Williams, recorded at a concert given last Spring in St Paul, Minnesota, whilst in the South Korean capital, the KBS Orchestra provides some Russian passion in music by Tchaikovsky and Glazunov, recorded in Seoul early last year.
