ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO plays live at City Halls, Glasgow. Wagner Overture (Rienzi). Strauss: Horn Concerto No 2 (with Richard Watkins). Franck: Symphony in D minor. Plus Wagner: Symphony in C.
For the first time ever, Afternoon on 3 has a live concert every day of the week - one by each of the five ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Orchestras, playing at their respective homes in Cardiff, Salford, London and Glasgow. An American thread runs throughout the week, as part of Afternoon on 3's celebration of American music this autumn.
Today it's the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra at their home, City Halls in Glasgow, with a programme featuring one of this year's anniversary composers, Richard Wagner, and two of his greatest fans - Richard 'the second' (Strauss), and the Belgian César Franck.
During the interval there's a recording of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and their Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles in American music with a European connection by John Adams. And following the concert Katie Derham presents the orchestra in concert last month celebrating Wagner's 200th birthday with a rarely heard Symphony.
