大象传媒

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by 大象传媒 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

As part of Radio 3鈥檚 travels across Europe this week, today we focus on Paris, with music recorded in La Maison Ronde - Radio France鈥檚 headquarters situated on the banks of the Seine between the Eiffel Tower and the Bois de Bologne. To open the programme, mezzo soprano L茅a Desandre joins the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra for Berlioz鈥檚 luminous song cycle Nuits d鈥櫭塼茅. And then at 3pm, the same orchestra and conductor Mikko Franck take us out of the city and over the snow-capped mountains in Richard Strauss鈥檚 Alpine Symphony. Plus we鈥檝e music by Parisian composers Poulenc, Rameau and Ravel, whose Sonatine is performed by South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho in recital at this year鈥檚 Edinburgh International Festival.
