Monday - Mendelssohn's First Symphony

Thierry Fischer conducts a Proms performance of Mendelssohn's First Symphony with the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales. Plus music by Glinka, Beethoven and Vaughan Williams.

Penny Gore begins another week of unique recordings from the 大象传媒 Orchestras and Choirs, and from some of Europe's best ensembles.

Thierry Fischer conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in Mendelssohn's First Symphony, as Penny starts an exploration of the German composer's symphonies throughout the week at 3pm. The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra play Beethoven Coriolan overture and Vaughan Williams's On Wenlock Edge, featuring tenor Benjamin Hulett, and Alessandro Taverna is the soloist in Saint-Saens's Second Piano Concerto.
