Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony at the Proms and soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn from the Edinburgh International Festival

Tom McKinney with exclusive recordings from this year's Edinburgh International Festival and the ѿý Philharmonic and Stefan Dohr at the Proms.

Today’s Classical Live includes another chance to hear Wednesday night’s Prom featuring horn player Stefan Dohr and the ѿý Philharmonic conducted by John Storgårds.

The programme begins with Schumann’s much-overlooked dramatic overture for his opera on the medieval legend of St Genevieve of Brabant, Genoveva. Following this, Hans Abrahamsen’s Horn Concerto and the brusque drama of Sibelius’ symphonic fantasia Pohjola’s Daughter. The Prom ends with Tchaikovsky’s epic Symphony No. 4.

To start today’s Classical Live, soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn makes her Edinburgh International Festival debut at the Queen’s Hall, joined by recital partner, pianist Simon Lepper. Together they present a treasury of late Romantic song.
