From the Wycombe Swan, Royal Philharmonic under Eduardo Portal. Smetana: Overture (The Bartered Bride). Dvorak: Cello Concerto (with Natalie Clein). Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade.
Live from the Wycombe Swan.
Presented by Katie Derham
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the young Spanish conductor Eduardo Portal perform Czech and Russian orchestral masterpieces.
Smetana's vigorous overture to his opera The Bartered Bride opens the programme, followed by Dvorak's Cello concerto which calls for both lyrical and virtuosic playing from the soloist, Natalie Clein.
Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful epic tone poem, Scheherazade, inspired by The One Thousand and One Nights, conjurs up a magical world of Arabian mysticism with a haunting solo violin representing Scheherazade and menacing brass fanfares playing the part of the Sultan.
