Chineke! Orchestra at the Proms plus chamber music from the East Neuk Festival

Tom McKinney with performances from the recent East Neuk Festival in Fife plus the Chineke! Orchestra at the Proms.

Today鈥檚 Classical Live includes another chance to hear last Sunday night鈥檚 Prom featuring pianist Stewart Goodyear, the Chineke! Orchestra conducted by Andrew Grams. Stewart Goodyear is the soloist in his own vibrant celebration of Caribbean music, Callaloo, while Duke Ellington鈥檚 jazzed-up take on Tchaikovsky鈥檚 ballet The Nutcracker turns waltz into swing and Sugar Plum into heady rum. Conductor Andrew Grams ends with the most emotionally intense and musically robust symphony Tchaikovsky ever wrote, his heartbreakingly autobiographical 鈥楶athe虂tique鈥.

To start today鈥檚 Classical Live, there will be exclusively recorded performances from the East Neuk Festival in Fife. The Norwegian string quartet Opus13 perform Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden' quartet and pianist Boris Giltburg performs Rachmaninov.
