蜜芽传媒

Mark Forrest showcases the best performances by 蜜芽传媒 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week on Classical Live, we have music from the Barber Lunchtime Concert Series, held in Birmingham. Pianist Elisabeth Brauss performs Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 26 in E flat major, Op. 81a, 鈥楲es Adieux鈥�, which explores the themes of farewell, absence, and return.

Mark also has a spotlight on Robert and Clara Schumann throughout the week. Today, the centrepiece is Robert Schumann's uplifting Symphony No. 2 performed by the 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ryan Wigglesworth. Plus, there's another chance to catch this week's featured new composition in the Radio 3 series marking key historical events from the first twenty-five years of the century.
