The Ulster Orchestra and Schumann's 'Rhenish' Symphony No. 3

The Ulster Orchestra perform works by Dohn谩nyi and Schumann, with pianist Vadym Kholodenko featuring as soloist in Bartok's Third Piano Concerto.

The Ulster Orchestra are joined by conductor Mihhail Gerts for a programme featuring music by Dohn谩nyi, Bartok and Schumann. To begin, Dohn谩nyi's colourful Symphonic Minutes- originally written in the early 1920s as a set of piano pieces which the composer eventually orchestrated. The result is a series of pieces which are vibrant and lively, but also contain some lovely writing for solo woodwinds.

Pianist Vadym Kholodenko then joins the orchestra in a performance of Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 3 in E Major, written in 1945 towards the end of the composer's life and first premiered in Philadelphia in 1946 with soloist Gy枚rgy S谩ndor.

Finally, Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony No. 3 in Eb Major, the last symphony to be completed by the composer. The work is a tribute to the Rhineland, and completed after a family trip he and his wife Clara took to Cologne in 1850.

Dohn谩nyi- Symphonic Minutes, op. 36
Bartok- Piano Concerto No. 3 in E major
Schumann- Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 97, "Rhenish"
