´óÏó´«Ã½

Tom McKinney showcases the best performances by ´óÏó´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

Today, we’re back the Cotswolds with music recorded at this year’s Tetbury Music Festival: pianist Imogen Cooper plays the third in her trio of late Beethoven sonatas, and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective give the world premiere performance of Gary Carpenter’s E: scherzo for five players. There’s more from French baroque ensemble Le Consort at this summer’s Rheingau Musik Festival, and our centrepiece at 3pm is Schumann’s Second Symphony, performed in Perth by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, our orchestra in focus this week.
