Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic live from Salford

Live from Salford conductor Douglas Boyd and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic perform Britten's Les Illuminations with tenor Robin Tritschler, and Mozart's Serenade in B flat, the Gran Partita

Live from Salford's MediaCityUK, conductor Douglas Boyd and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic perform Britten's thrilling setting of poems by Rimbaud, Les Illuminations with tenor Robin Tritschler. This is paired with Mozart's Serenade in B flat (K 361) often referred to as the Gran Partita. The live concert is presented by Tom Redmond.

After this, Tom continues his survey this week of Tippett's symphonic works with the composer's Symphony No. 3 for soprano and orchestra, with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martin Brabbins and soloist Rachel Nicholls. This eclectic works is blues-influenced and includes quotations from Beethoven, suggesting that Tippett was challenging Beethoven's world-view.
