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.

This week on Classical Live, there will be a celebration of Spanish music. At the beginning of the programme, violinist Esther Yoo joins Spain's RTVE Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andrey Boreyko to perform Bruch's violin concerto. Our centrepiece is Roberto Gerhard's Don Quixote performed by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and conductor, Juanjo Mena. Music by Spanish composers such as Juan Mar铆a Guelbenzu, Arturo M谩rquez and Luis de Mil谩n will also be performed. Plus, the artist spotlight this week is Spanish conductor, composer and viol player, Jordi Savall.

Elizabeth also selects a violin sonata each day. Today, violinist Esther Yoo and pianist Robert Koenig perform Grieg's Violin Sonata No 3 in C minor.
