大象传媒

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

We return to the peerless acoustics of St George鈥檚, Bristol for more from the series of recitals recorded there especially for Classical Live and featuring current members of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artists Scheme. Today we hear a set of Irish songs from mezzo-soprano Niamh O鈥橲ullivan and pianist Alim Beisembayev playing three Scarlatti sonatas.

There鈥檚 more music by Johann Sebastian Bach as we continue our celebration of the musical city of Leipzig, and our centrepiece features the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performing the Symphony No. 2 by another, lesser-known German composer: Carl Reinecke.
