Friday - Live with the ѿý Philharmonic

Tom McKinney introduces a live performance of symphonies by Mozart and Haydn from the ѿý Philharmonic and Mark Wigglesworth. Plus Smetana in Prague and Copland's Billy the Kid.

Tom McKinney with the best classical music performed by ѿý ensembles and orchestras across Europe.

Mark Wigglesworth conducts the ѿý Philharmonic live from Salford's MediaCity in a concert including Mozart’s overture to La Clemenza di Tito, Haydn’s “Clock” Symphony and Mozart’s Symphony No.40. In between the two symphonies, while the orchestra re-sets, you can hear a recording of Edward MacDowell’s deeply romantic “Keltic” piano sonata.

Also in the programme, Copland’s Billy the Kid Suite from the ѿý Scottish Symphony Orchestra, more Baroque vocal music from Capella Marianna in Prague and a highlight from last year’s London International Festival of Early Music.
