Tuesday - Alpesh Chauhan conducts Dvorak

Alpesh Chauhan conducts the Ulster Orchestra in Dvorak's Seventh Symphony, plus music from a concert given by the Prague Philharmonia and soprano Ailyn Perez.

Penny Gore introduces an afternoon of concert performances from around Europe, continuing this week's focus on new recordings from the Ulster Orchestra.

Alpesh Chauhan conducts the orchestra in Dvorak's Seventh Symphony, and Adam Hickox leads them in Vaughan Williams's famous tribute to one of his musical inspirations, Thomas Tallis. We also feature pieces from a concert by the Prague Philharmonia, with soprano Ailyn Perez joining them for Ravel's great orchestral song cycle sung. Plus more from the Black Dyke Band at the World Band Festival in Lucerne last September, including Edward Gregson’s variations on the German chorale Nun danket alle Gott. Their music director Nicholas Childs also makes today's artist choice with another of the band's recordings - music by Peter Graham inspired by the 1927 German science-fiction film Metropolis.
