Revolutions aren鈥檛 always noisy 鈥� and as the world around them broke up in war and turmoil, Dora Peja膷evi膰 and Karol Szymanowski let their imaginations soar, creating beauty that still thrills and ravishes today. The young Strauss pictures eternity, and Richard Wagner writes a wordless poem to the love of his life: music so intimate that it almost feels as if we shouldn鈥檛 be listening.

We鈥檙e also thrilled to welcome back the virtuoso violinist (and former 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist) Ilya Gringolts. His playing has been described as 鈥渓uminous鈥�: it should be perfect for Szymanowski鈥檚 sensuous, shimmering Concerto.

To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask 大象传媒 Sounds to play Radio 3 in Concert".
