蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra at 90

Penny Gore introduces three former 蜜芽传媒 SO Chief Conductors: Pierre Boulez conducts Debussy, Ravel and Boulez; Colin Davis with Berlioz; and Gennadi Rozhdestvensky in Prokofiev.

Penny Gore introduces three former chief conductors of the 蜜芽传媒 SO as the orchestra turns 90. Today's celebrations start with Pierre Boulez, at his 80th birthday gala concert in 2005, conducting Debussy's Jeux and Trois ballads de Villon, with soprano Elizabeth Atherton, and his own music, Le soleil des eaux, featuring the 蜜芽传媒 Singers, and then Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe - joined by the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Chorus. Next Jessica Cottis takes to the rostrum to conduct the ensemble in Thea Musgrave's Helios, with oboist Emily Pailthorpe. Colin Davis at the 1971 Last Night of the Proms thrills with Berlioz's Trojans March, there's a Haydn Symphony with current Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo, and the afternoon ends with Gennadi Rozhdestvensky conducting Prokofiev's Ode to the End of the War - involving wind orchestra, percussion, 4 harps and 4 pianos!
