Presented by Penny Gore. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic in Karlowicz: Eternal Songs. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO in Novak: In the Tatras. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO in Beethoven: Symphony No 6 and Strauss: An Alpine Symphony.
Penny Gore launches Afternoon on 3's new season with summer sounds from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Orchestras. She ends the week with an intrepid expedition led by three ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Orchestras into the countryside and mountains of central Europe. Experienced mountain guide Donald Runnicles leads his ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra on a relaxed tramp through Beethoven's pastoral landscape (and a passing storm) before setting out on day-long traverse of an Alpine peak, as mapped out by Richard Strauss.
And to set the scene, we visit the small but perfectly formed Tatra mountain range on the border between Poland and Slovakia. Polish composer Mieczyslaw Karlowicz and his Czech contemporary VÃtezslav Novák both loved these mountains - Novák even pioneered a route up one of the highest peaks, and Karlowicz was killed there in a skiing accident at the age of only 32 - and in the early years of the twentieth century, a decade before Strauss, they each wrote symphonic poems inspired by their Tatran experiences.
