Starting a week with material from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symhony Orchestra's 2019 tour of China, plus other material recorded recently at the Edinburgh Festival and pieces recorded by The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers, today we feature a concert given in Shanghai by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO with Radio 3 New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov. The concert - given at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall - begins with the world premiere of Chinese-born composer Huang Ruo's Folk Songs for Orchestra. Also in the programme were two well-known and much-loved pieces: Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto and Elgar's Enigma Variations, all conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.
The afternoon continues with a recent recording of choral music by Joanna Marsh - Arabesques - made by The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers under Owain Park. And we end at the Maida Vale Studios, and a further concert given by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andrei Feher, with the Divertimento from Stravinsky's "The Fairy's Kiss".
