大象传媒

This week Penny Gore introduces concerts given by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and the 大象传媒 Singers. There are also highlights each day from the 66th International Rostrum of Composers, which took place in Argentina.

The week begins with a concert conducted by Alexander Vedernikov, featuring Gyorgy Sviridov's paean to Pushkin - 'The Blizzard', Rachmaninov's ever-popular set of variations on one of Paganini's Caprices - with soloist Andrei Korobeinikov, and Tchaikovsky's earliest notable work - the First Symphony.

The programme also includes a recent work for mixed choir by the young Estonian composer Gerta Raidma, which was recorded at the 66th International Rostrum of Composers in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. To end, Jack Liebeck joins the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra to perform the violin concerto that Schoenberg composed three years after fleeing Nazi Germany to the USA.
