±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra Prom plus music from the Kurt Weill Festival

Tom McKinney with highlights from the Kurt Weill Festival foregrounding music across the centuries by women composers plus a chance to hear Harvey, Elgar and Holst at the Proms.

Today’s Classical Live includes another chance to hear last Saturday night’s Prom featuring contralto Jess Dandy, cellist Senja Rummukainen, the ±«Óătv Symphony Chorus and ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari Oramo. The performance of Holst’s The Cloud Messenger marks 150 years since the composer's birth. Also in the programme, Elgar’s ever-popular, bittersweet Cello Concerto and the gentle exhalations of Jonathan Harvey’s Tranquil Abiding, inspired by Buddhist meditation.

To start today’s Classical Live, there will be exclusively recorded performances from the Berlin Chamber Orchestra. Part of a concert recorded at the Kurt Weill Festival in Dessau earlier this year exploring music from across the centuries by women composers.
