In this festive week, Afternoon Concert features concerts from all over Europe. Today鈥檚 focuses on the RTVE Symphony Orchestra in Madrid. They begin with two 20th century Russian masterpieces 鈥� Prokofiev鈥檚 Piano Concerto No.2, premiered in Paris in 1924, this time with fellow-Russian pianist Nikolai Demidenko; and Shostakovich鈥檚 so-called 鈥渁nswer to just criticism鈥� 鈥� his tour-de-force Symphony No.5.

Trombonist Christian Lindberg turns conductor for the next two pieces 鈥� the first of which is his own Concerto for trumpet and trombone 鈥淯n sue帽o morisco鈥�, followed by Carl Nielsen鈥檚 own 5th Symphony, composed just after the end of World War I.

Presented by Hannah French.
