Alain Altinoglu conducts the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra in Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, Poulenc's Sinfonietta and Tchaikovsky's sunny Serenade.

Alain Altinoglu conducts the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra in Wagner, Poulenc and Tchaikovsky.

Alain Altinoglu brought this delectable programme to Frankfurt in his first season as music director of one of Germany's oldest and finest radio orchestras. As well as two favourites for chamber orchestra by Wagner and Tchaikovsky, he brings music from his native France in the form of Poulenc's light-hearted Sinfonietta, commissioned by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in 1947 to mark the first anniversary of the Third Programme.
