Music from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic. Rossini: Overture (La Cenerentola). Liszt: Totentanz. Bruch: Concerto in E minor, Op 88. Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 4. Elgar: Symphony No 1.

Penny Gore presents a week of programmes focusing on recent performances by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Today the emphasis is on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic, with pianist Martin Roscoe joining the orchestra in performances of Liszt's Totentanz and Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto. Then, Bruch's Concerto for clarinet, viola and orchestra, a late work in the composer's canon which makes good use of the tonal similarities between the two solo instruments. To finish, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic perform Elgar's 1st Symphony, which had its premiere in 1908 in Manchester, just up the road from the orchestra's home.

There's a chance to hear the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO play Elgar's 2nd Symphony in tomorrow's programme. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic return on Wednesday with a concert live from their home at MediaCity, Salford.
