World Premieres for Black History Month
Unique concert recordings marking Black History Month as well as more from Concerto Copenhagen from Lammermuir and ±«Óãtv NOW performing Strauss's Don Quixote.
Fiona Talkington showcases unique concert recordings from home and abroad, including the award-winning Danish Baroque orchestra Concerto Copenhagen at the recent Lammermuir Festival.
Elsewhere, Classical Live's orchestra-in-focus the ±«Óãtv National Orchestra of Wales performs 'Don Quixote' by Richard Strauss: the swashbuckling tone-poem inspired by the eponymous novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Scored for cello, viola and orchestra, the work is written as a theme and variations: Don Quixote represented by the cello.
The programme starts with two world premieres from the ±«Óãtv Symphony Orchestra: one by jazz pianist Pete Letanka, and another by jazz saxophonist Jason Yarde. Later, the orchestra performs a selection of Eleanor Alberga’s 'Dances from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', each movement capturing a unique moment from the beloved tale.
